SUMMARY:Ten Things To Know Before You Go
DESCRIPTION:There’s a lot of information out there about planning well and getting our affairs in order. It can be hard to know where to begin! \nThis 2 hour\, in-person workshop by Danni Petkovic (Campaign Manager for Dying to Know) will help you pull it all together and explore end-of-life planning in an engaging\, accessible way. It will leave you feeling confident in knowing what options are right for you and your family\, while recognising the strength of your existing skills and experience. \nOnly 53% of Australians feel able to talk to another family member about end of life. The Ten Things to Know Before You Go workshop gives you the tools for these essential planning conversations to flow easily and productively. \nFrom accessing the legal documents to planning a funeral and understanding palliative care\, this workshop covers all the essentials and helps you navigate ‘what’s next’\, in a relaxed\, supportive learning environment with other people who are looking to plan well. \nPrevious participants have left feeling more empowered with knowledge about navigating different aspects of the end of life system. 80% of participants have reported that they took direct action in end of life planning as a result of the workshop. \nWe will assist you to:  \n\n Plan for the future and ensure your wishes are understood.\n Respond with care when a loved one is grieving.\n Build a support network that prioritises social and emotional wellbeing for end-of-life.\n\nWe will also provide a free afternoon tea afterward\, giving you the opportunity to have a chat with the team at Proveda and other like minded individuals. \nAdditionally\, it’s important to remember that you don’t need to be facing a terminal diagnosis to start planning for end-of-life matters. Preparing in advance can bring peace of mind and ensure that your personal and financial affairs are in order. It’s never too early to make informed decisions\, giving you control over your legacy and easing the burden on your loved ones.   \nJoin us for Ten Things to Know Before You Go to learn more about how to approach these important decisions with confidence.  \n\n
