Death Talks Ft. Patient Choices Vermont: Act 39 Seminar

Past event
Jan 23, 2019, 6 to 8 PM

Join us tomorrow night at 6pm for a presentation on Act 39 and the options available for patients at the end of life.

Patient Choices Vermont (PCV) was the lead advocacy organization behind the adoption of Vermont's Patient Choice at End of Life Law (Act 39) in May 2013.

PCV works to keep Act 39 strong by fending off legal challenges, increasing the network of medical personnel and pharmacies available to help patients, and educating communities. PCV is a 501c3 organization working to ensure that all Vermonters have access to the rights established by the law.

The purpose of Death Talks is to destigmatize the topics of death and dying while creating a safe place for open dialogue and the philosophical exploration of themes such as mortality, the after life, spirituality, cultural practices, history, individual experience, and more.

Death Talks is not a personal support group or counseling session.

This event is facilitated by Alexandria Kerrigan and sponsored by Wishbone Collective.

Alexandria recently completed the University of Vermont's End of Life Doula Program. She holds a bachelor of science in education and is pursuing a master's of social work. Alexandria has been interested and comfortable with the topic of death since childhood and has extensive personal experience with grief and loss.

Wishbone Collective is proud to host and sponsor Death Talks as it aligns with our mission to create a unique community space for all.

January 23rd from 6-8 PM.
Light refreshments will be served.
