Advance Care Planning
for Major Medical Care Workshop
When: Tuesday, November 14, 2023 - 3-5 PST / 5-7pm EST
Where: This workshop will be held virtually on Zoom (you will receive the link the week before)
Event description:
Never too early, often too late. If you don’t want others to decide what is done to your body, you must clearly communicate the kind of major medical care you want, should a major medical event happen. This workshop will help you create the five documents you need to increase your control of the treatments you undergo when you are unable to speak for yourself.
Presenter: Richard Stuart, DSW, ABBP
Richard has been committed to protecting patients’ rights throughout his professional career. He is Clinical Professor Emeritus in the Department of Psychiatry, University of Washington, and a member of the Medical Staff-Psychology at Swedish-Edmonds Hospital. During most of his institutional work he served on hospital ethics committees where he was frequently called upon to participate in making decisions about whether to offer or withhold various treatment options for very ill patients. Some patients had no advance directive and for others it was necessary to help loved ones overcome strong disagreements about what the patient would have chosen. He is the author of more than 100 publications, was elected President of the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapy, a Diplomate in Family Therapy American Board of Professional Psychology, and fellowship in two divisions of the American Psychological Association. He has also served on the boards of various non-governmental organizations such as The Linehan Institute.
