The “What Matters to Me” Workbook was jointly created by Ariadne Labs and The Conversation Project to help people with a serious illness think through and talk about what matters most to them – to make sure they get the care they want.

After completing the Workbook and talking it over with someone close to you, the next step is to talk with your health care team (doctor, nurse, social worker, etc.) so they understand what’s most important to you. See our How To Talk To Your Doctor guide for useful advice.

Note: The Workbook is based on expert opinion and is currently undergoing testing with patients and their caregivers to evaluate its usability and usefulness.

If you are not seriously ill, please see our Conversation Starter Kit.
