Queer Death Salon – Advance Planning for End of Life
September 24 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Free2SLGBTQIA+ people may face specific challenges in the legal and healthcare systems. You may need extra protections in advance care planning to ensure dignity and avoid conflict or discrimination.
Tuesday, September 24 at 7 p.m. EST
This month we are kicking off a 4-part series where we will discuss Advanced Planning for End Of Life as it relates to us in our communities. Over 4 sessions, we will together go over each section of the LGBTQ+ Advance Care Planning Toolkit published by SAGE (follow the link for the free download).
This month, we will review STEP 1 of the toolkit and discuss:
-health care proxy
-living will
-financial power of attorney
-last will and testament
-funeral pre-planning and disposition rights
There is no need to pre-read the materials. We will discuss the toolkit information together, and help each other work out questions and special considerations around these topics, to better enable us each to make the preparations that work best for us. Each of the 4 sessions is drop-in. There is no requirement to attend all sessions.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own questions, stories, and complexities to share.
