Are You Prepared? Planning for a Crisis is a seminar on the parts of life many people put off: aging, health decline and death. It walks through three practical steps, starting with difficult conversations, then advance directives and finding available help. It meets at the Northwoods Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Woodruff, just outside Minocqua.
What to expect
The seminar is built around three topics: having difficult conversations about aging and health, understanding advance directives, and identifying the help that is available and how to access it. It is a guided talk through each step rather than an open discussion. The Fellowship keeps its gatherings relaxed and informal, so the room should feel like a conversation with neighbors.
Why go
Most people plan carefully for weddings, careers and retirement, then leave the harder decisions about health and end of life for later. This seminar gives those decisions a structure and a starting point. The Fellowship is run by volunteers and draws members from many different backgrounds, which suits a topic this personal.
