The advancedirective.org team is proud to announce the launch of a new Advance Directive Facilitation page! Written by John Oliver Esq., this page provides dozens of crucial advance directive facilitation documents, including an extensive curriculum for training advance directive facilitators.
What Facilitation Is
To “facilitate” an action is to make it easier. Because most people have not completed an advance directive for their health care, some organizations offer to “facilitate” the completion of advance directives. This is done by having a trained facilitator help a person go through, and understand, the advance directive form. The facilitator helps the person to think about his or her values and preferences regarding health care, and how those values and preferences might affect the person’s choices and instructions for health care.
