About this event

  • 3 hours 30 minutes

This forum is for the general public to attend and is not suited for Health Professionals.

Many people find it difficult to talk about dying, yet dying is an important stage of life and is inevitable.

We plan for the birth of a child, yet when it comes to the end of life, we don’t often want to think about it, or talk about it.

Having a plan outlines our care preferences for the future. Having an Advance Care Plan (ACP) that aligns with our beliefs and values, is a gift that we can give to our family / whānau.

Come along to our workshop and find out more about dying matters, how an ACP can benefit you and your family/whānauand what to expect at the end of life.

We will explore:

  • Why is it hard to talk about death and dying?
  • What to expect when someone is dying
  • Supports available
  • Advance care planning processes
