The Cookie Jar Conversations Webinar explored advance care planning through real conversations with members of the LDM team. Come listen to Kath Murray, CEO of LDM, Tiara Sisson, President of LDM, and Maria Panzera Rugg, Hospice and Palliative Care Nurse Educator, and Michael Murray.
The discussion highlighted listening, values, and simple tools like Care Planning Cookies, showing how everyday moments can open meaningful dialogue about care, choice, and who would speak for us if we couldn’t.
Learning Outcomes:
- Understand Advance Care Planning as a values-based conversation, not just a medical or legal task, and recognize the importance of listening without assumption.
- Identify how everyday moments and gentle prompts (such as Care Planning Cookies) can open meaningful ACP conversations with family members, clients and colleagues.
- Reflect on their own wishes and decision-making values, and recognize the role of a trusted substitute decision-maker in ensuring their voice is heard if they cannot speak for themselves.
