ONLINE WORKSHOP: California’s End of Life Option Act: What to Expect

California’s End of Life Option Act is a law that allows eligible adults with a terminal illness and life expectancy of 6 months or less, the legal right to request and self-administer a medication to end their life in a peaceful and dignified manner at a time of their choosing.

Considering California’s End of Life Option Act (Medical Aid in Dying) can bring up many questions. This workshop provides a compassionate, practical overview of what it is actually like to navigate the process—from determining eligibility and making the required requests to understanding the timeline, assessing symptoms along the way, and deciding whether this option is right for you. We’ll also discuss how and when the medication is typically taken, what the final day may look like, and how patients and families can prepare emotionally and practically. Designed for individuals living with serious illness and their loved ones, this presentation offers real-world guidance to help you make informed decisions with greater clarity and confidence.
