My Voice - Advance Care Planning Guide
Expressing the seniors wishes for future health care treatment
The "My Voice - Advance Care Planning Guide" is a comprehensive resource designed to help individuals articulate their wishes for future health care treatment. This guide, intended for use by adults in British Columbia, is a valuable tool to supplement discussions with family members and health care providers, ensuring your health care choices are understood and respected, especially in situations where you might not be able to communicate your wishes due to illness or injury. With the new incapacity planning legislation in B.C., this guide provides a variety of options to express your health care decisions. It includes a range of forms and workbook pages to assist in documenting your beliefs, values, and health care preferences, helping you to create an advance care plan tailored to your specific needs. While these forms can be completed without legal assistance, we recommend consulting with a legal advisor for complex situations to ensure your wishes are accurately represented and legally valid.
