Advance Care Planning Cultural Adaptations project – Spreading the model

As the Advance Care Planning Cultural Adaptations project, funded by Health Canada, enters its final weeks, one of the satisfying benefits of the project is taking what has been learned, including the new training and materials that have been developed, and sharing them broadly among the non-profit community.

With materials and methods culturally adapted and translated for the Chinese and South Asian communities, the project team has recruited a total of 70 facilitators (trained in three cohorts) from 28 community organizations. In addition to an adapted approach to training, the new facilitators also have translated materials to use for each community. These materials, and a brand-new option for viewing our online ACP information in Punjabi, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese, are available on our website.
