Talking with loved ones about end-of-life wishes can be one of the most meaningful conversations we have. This presentation by Atlantic Health offers practical guidance for starting these discussions, communicating personal values and preferences, and helping family members make informed decisions with confidence and peace of mind.
Led by Jessamyn B. Tabakin, MSW, LCSW, ACHP-SW, Palliative Care, Atlantic Health Overlook Medical Centerr, this hour will cover:
Jessamyn B. Tabakin is a master’s level Advanced Certified Hospice and Palliative Social Worker. She is a Rutgers University Aging and Health Fellow. Jessamyn is accredited in Advanced Care Planning from The National Association of Social Workers. In the past she has worked in multiple Hospice settings supporting patients and caregivers through end-of-life and Bereavement. As a member of the Overlook Bereavement consortium, she presents on Loss and Resiliency within the Atlantic Health system and surrounding communities.
Planning for the future isn’t about dwelling on what’s hard, it’s about making sure your voice is heard and that the people you love are supported when it matters most.
All are welcome. This event is free and open to the community.
