Advance Care Planning - Conversation Cafe

Hospice of Waterloo Region (HWR)strives to create and support a community where no one experiences an end of life journey alone  and for more than 26 years has been a  community outreach hospice providing services and support to those with a life limiting illness and their loved ones as well as those who are  recently bereaved.   Our wide variety of programs and services are provided to clients and family  in the community where they live and at the Hospice Family Centre.  Our philosophy is to provide comfort and care, to neither hasten or prolong life and to allow a natural death.  We believe that supporting each other at end of life is a shared community responsibility and our outreach into the community has focused on engaging not only friends, family, neighbours, and  colleagues but the broader community where we live,  work and play.  It is our  goal to support our  community to inspire, nurture, and comfort the human spirit in life, death, and bereavementwww.hospicewaterloo.ca

Join us for one hour to talk , listen and share what matters most, what your priorities are for living well

After providing numerous community presentations, we know that people often view these ACP conversations as tough, awkward and difficult to get started. However , we have also heard that these conversations between family, friends and even colleagues can make a huge difference and are truly tender conversations between people who care about each other. We just need to get started.... As presenters , we frequently get requests for tips on how to begin and checklists on what to talk about. These conversations are not about a checklist of treatment decisions but are really about what matters to YOU , what your priorities are and what living well looks life for YOU. We just need to start talking. We are offering you an opportunity, in a safe and respectful space, to talk about what matters to you. Join one of our ACP Ambassadors for a Tuesday morning Conversation Cafe ( Mar 30th through April 20th ) where, for 60 minutes, in a small group, we can focus on talking, listening and sharing what is important to each of us in living well. The more we talk and listen to each other, the more comfortable these ACP conversations can become. These conversations are a gift we give each other and its never too late until it is... so lets get started. Note: We will not be providing a presentation on ACP as part of this cafe. Instead we hope that you will bring a basic understanding of ACP so that we can focus the time together on the conversation.
