Planning is a key part of providing palliative care.

This introductory-level, public education-focused course is designed to help you build the skills and awareness needed to support those living with a life-limiting illness, those who are dying, or those who are grieving. Delivered in simple, community-friendly language, this course focuses on five simple steps to help identify an individual’s circle of support and work together to plan for their care needs.
