The Conversation Project in Boulder County (TCPBC) assists with advance care planning through confidential, free coaching. Too often people wait for a health crisis to have a conversation about end-of-life wishes. TCPBC advocates for conversations to start early and be revisited often. TCPBC coaches offer decision support around end-of-life values and advance directives. Coaches are equipped to provide advance care planning resources for people who are healthy, facing dementia themselves or alongside of a loved one, and persons recently diagnosed with a serious illness. For more information about coaching call 720-584-5808 or go to www.theconversationprojectinboulder.org.
