Description:

This 7-hour online training will prepare you to conduct advance care planning conversations, including: exploring end-of-life medical decision-making, post-death considerations, and completion of Advance Directives, all while integrating Jewish wisdom into the process. 

What Matters is based on a conversation protocol developed by Respecting Choices®, and adapted for use in Jewish community settings.

This training is designed for lay leaders or professionals working with adults in Jewish settings, and/or whose work includes end-of-life conversations. For those interested in facilitating in group settings, additional optional trainings are held on a less frequent basis at no additional cost.

Cost:

The cost for this training is $475, and includes certification from Respecting Choices as well as CEU credits. The fee is payable by credit or debit card.
