Palliative Care
Serious illness and death impact the lives of all Albertans and their loved ones. The following resources provided by Compassionate Alberta can help Albertans face these experiences by planning ahead, learning about palliative care, building supportive communities and talking about death and dying. The following tools and more link to the Compassionate Alberta page.

​Understanding Palliative Care: An interactive online module that explains what palliative care is and the kinds of support it offers, incorporating the voices of three Albertans who have personally benefited from palliative care.
​
PalliLearn: A series of four courses to help people develop the knowledge and skills to plan ahead and to be a supportive friend and neighbour through sickness, death and dying and grief.
Plan Ahead Toolkit: A resource for developing and facilitating public education on health, financial and estate planning. 
My Wishes Alberta: A workbook to help people identify and share what is most important to them about their life, health, and personal care.
Death Cafe: Resources to promote and support the facilitation of Death Cafes, events where people gather to talk openly about death and dying. 
CMS: Helping Albertans Plan for the Future with Confidence and Clarity.
