Presenter: Phoebe Souza, MSW, LCSW, MPH, OSW-C, APHSW-C, Social Worker Team Lead
Ever wondered, ‘How should I plan for medical care if I can’t speak for myself?’ It’s an important question regardless of a person’s current health status. Join Phoebe Souza, Iris's Mental Health Therapist, to debunk the myths around advance care planning and learn the basics about documenting your medical wishes.
Highlighting the importance of expressing your medical care preferences—both the care you want and don’t want—is crucial, particularly for times when you’re unable to make your voice heard.
The thought of facing future health decisions without the ability to communicate personal wishes can be overwhelming for many. In our on-demand event, we’ll help you take the first step in navigating these challenging topics and equip you with strategies to articulate and document your healthcare preferences, simplifying decisions for both you and your loved ones in the future.
