Planning AHEAD is a new curriculum that was created in response to community assessment data showing a need to help those left behind (especially spouses/partners) after a loved one dies to transition to living on their own. The curriculum features seven modules covering the topics of Getting Started, Handling Financial Changes, Advance Medical and Legal Directives, Estate Planning, Choices in End-of-Life Care, Final Wishes, and Understanding Grief. Planning AHEAD provides clear and comprehensive tools to help people make their end-of-life wishes known and to ease the transition for loved ones left behind.
