Getting Started Guide for Faith Communities

This guide is designed to help faith community leaders introduce The Conversation Project’s mission and free resources in the communities they know and serve. It is filled with examples of how diverse faith communities are encouraging their members to engage in thoughtful reflection and have conversations about their health care wishes through the end of life with those that matter to them and health care providers

Also see our Getting Started Guide for Communities for additional ideas about who to engage and how to introduce the importance of conversations into your community. And our Tips for Facilitating and Teaching about The Conversation Project.

Webinar Series: Bringing Advance Care Planning Conversations to Your Congregation

Congregations are ideal settings for beginning to talk about what matters most to people when it comes to making decisions about the kind of health care they want and don’t want in the face of very serious illness. For six weeks, The Conversation Project’s advisor to faith, Rosemary Lloyd, hosted a free, web-based course on how to infuse having conversations about crucial, values-centered health care decision-making into the life and work of faith communities.
