Navigating Illinois’s Aid in Dying Act: Psychosocial Considerations

OVERVIEW

This webinar explores the complex psychosocial considerations surrounding Illinois’ End of Life Options Act for Terminally Ill Patients Act within long-term care environments. Designed for health care providers, social workers, and interdisciplinary teams, the session will address the emotional, ethical, and relational impacts on residents, their families and the staff who provide care. Understanding these psychosocial factors is essential as health care providers decide whether to allow medical aid in dying within their health care communities and what psychosocial services may be necessary to support impacted individuals.

Learning Objectives

• Identify psychosocial factors that may impact health care providers’ decisions on policies and procedures related to medical aid in dying.
• Determine psychosocial support services that may be necessary for residents, families, and caregivers
