Course Description

Hours: 12

A decision to pursue Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) doesn't happen in isolation. It ripples outward, touching family members, communities and the healthcare professionals who walk alongside them.

This workshop equips participants with the knowledge and skills to meaningfully engage individuals and their support networks across the MAiD journey. Through real stories, informative videos and practical frameworks, you'll come away with a grounded understanding of MAiD, the psychosocial dimensions that shape the decision to request and access it, and the grief and bereavement experiences that run through it, alongside concrete strategies for navigating the challenges this work brings.
