Advance care planning is like an insurance policy, providing peace of mind to ourselves and our loved ones, knowing that our affairs are organized and our desires are understood.
Taught by IDLM’s Pam Carter, we will discuss advanced care planning on an in-depth level – covering everything from making sure a client’s important usernames and passwords are available to their advocate for emergency access to discussing how client’s might wish their legacy to be remembered after they’re gone.
Advance Care Planning is not simply one document; it’s a series of things that complete a well-planned care outline. The discussion will cover the importance of having these completed in advance, as well as in-depth concept education so doulas understand and can explain each document clearly, so clients can make informed decisions.
We partnered with Thanacare, a patient-focused platform for end-of-life care and advance care planning, as part of our program. Our students and graduates will receive access to the Thanacare program, benefiting doulas who assist clients with Advance Care Planning (ACP). Our Life Planning Doula Specialist Program now includes training on how to properly use planning documents with Thanacare. Additionally, our team is going the extra mile by adding essential documents that are valuable for our IDLM Life Planning Doula Specialist program students.
This course is 17 Modules / Over 43 Hours of ACP presentations and discussions. Complete support documentation and reference materials in your Student Dashboard. Guidance on both establishing the use of Thanacare as well as hard copy documentation to ensure your families have what they need when they need it without frustration and chaos.
