Make Sure It's the Way You Want: Advance Directives

This set of two Extension Community Lessons covers how to use advance directives — living wills and powers of attorney — to ensure that your family and physicians will know your wishes regarding life-sustaining treatments.

Make Sure It's the Way You Want: Advance Directives — This Leader Guide (HEF584) contains background resources, including a PowerPoint® presentation, and activities to initiate and guide a discussion about advance directives. An evaluation form is included to provide feedback on the lesson.

Make Sure It's Done the Way You Want: Advance Directives — The Participant Guide (HEF585) provides background on advance directives such as a living will, power of attorney for health care, and how to set up and manage advance directives.
