Advance Care Yarning Session helps relieve stigma about end-of-life planning
11 Apr 2024
Patsy Bingham, an End of Life Doula, was at the Advance Care Yarning Session to talk about the importance of having an advance care plan and letting your mob know your healthcare and end-of-life wishes before it’s too late.
The Advance Care Yarning Session helped to relieve the stigma around talking about end-of-life planning. It also allowed Elders and community members to come together, ask questions, and have a yarn about advance care planning in a safe and culturally informative space.
Advance care planning helps ensure your mob knows what care decisions to make when you are no longer able to communicate these yourself.
