For our August session, we will have a presentation on Future Planning & Elder Abuse Prevention. Delivered by Claire Thurstans, Project Lead/Seniors Law of Justice Connect.
What is future planning and how can we do it?
Future planning means:
- Planning what you want your future to look like, including your healthcare, lifestyle, and financial arrangements
- Choosing who would have the legal power to make decisions for you if you couldn't anymore
- Examples of legal options include powers of attorney and advance care planning.
The presentation will also cover:
- What prevents people from future planning?
- What is elder abuse?
- How can future planning help prevent elder abuse?
In a group discussion, we will explore ideas about how we can empower ourselves to future plan and help retain control and dignity as we get older.
Lunch Provided!
