Family Caregivers and Advance Care Planning
Cynthia Lapointe, DEC, AEC, Gerontology and Anna Pizzi, TDPCR & MIPC Volunteer Facilitator
Thursday, october 15, 2026 | 4:30 – 6:00 p.m.
Are you interested in learning about Advance Care Planning? Did you know that family members are increasingly caring for chronically ill loved ones at home? This may raise concerns and questions related to what happens as health starts to decline.
Many Canadians have yet to hear of advance care planning (ACP). Advance care planning is a process of reflecting on and communicating your wishes for end-of-life care with your family, close friends and healthcare team.
This interactive session will focus on what ACP is, how to introduce the subject, how to make difficult decisions, and will also be an opportunity for you to ask us questions.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
For any questions, contact Cindy Jared: cjared@tdpcr.ca
Please note that all sessions will be offered in English.
The presenters are bilingual and will be able to answer all questions in French.
