Join us for an empowering workshop designed specifically for queer, disabled, and non-monogamous individuals to learn how to create an advanced directive, facilitated by a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Advanced Certified Hospice and Palliative Social Worker.
What is an Advanced Directive?
This essential document ensures that your healthcare wishes are honored, even if you're unable to communicate them yourself. In California, having an advanced directive is especially important, as it grants you the legal power to designate who makes medical decisions on your behalf—allowing you to protect your chosen family and ensure your values are respected.
What to Expect:
- A supportive and inclusive environment
- Expert guidance on completing an advanced directive
- Opportunities to ask questions and share experiences
- Resources tailored to the needs of queer, disabled, and non-monogamous individuals
- Unstructured time to work on your advanced directive solo or with partners, friends, caregivers, etc.
In this free-flowing workshop ("office hours"), we'll guide you through the process step-by-step, offering practical advice and addressing unique concerns that often arise within our communities. Whether you're looking to safeguard your autonomy, ensure your partners have a say in your care, or simply want to be prepared for the unexpected, this workshop is for you.
