Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) has been legal in Canada since June 6, 2016, but many Canadians still don't understand what it is and what it isn't. Linda Hochstetler, a registered social worker in private practice, will help explain what the law says and what it takes to qualify. She will also discuss alternatives to MAiD, depending on circumstances, and why MAiD isn't the only alternative to a good death. Come prepared to discuss the dying process, and how to understand your future options.

Linda Hochstetler is a Registered Social Worker in private practice who wants to help people talk about living life more fully. She focuses on self-acceptance and compassion, and encourages people to find their own priorities for their life. Linda is a regular host of the Toronto West Death Café and is also the author of a book titled 21 Days to Die: The Canadian Guide to End-of-Life.

Session is hosted live on Zoom. Priority will be given to confirmed VPL members.
