Afternoon Pint

Andrew is a Registered Social Worker & Advanced Care Planner for the Nova Scotia Health Authority. One of his focuses is in helping people understand that having a Personal Directive helps people ensure their wishes are respected if they lose the ability to make decisions for themselves. The Personal Directives act was introduced in 2011 and is free for you to set up for yourself. To learn on how to get yours started go here https://novascotia.ca/just/pda/

Personal Directives may vary across Canada but if you google your own province you should easily be able to find more information.
