What is Planning AHEAD?
End-of-life planning is the ultimate gift you can give your loved ones. Join us for a multisession program that gives you the tools and resources to help begin or continue the end-of-life planning process. This type of planning, including advance care planning, is not just for people who are very old or ill. At any age, a medical crisis could leave you unable to communicate your own health care decisions. Plan ahead. Don’t leave a mess, leave a legacy.
This course features a workbook to help people with the tasks and decisions associated with end-of-life.
Planning AHEAD is a 6-session course (one hour each) that guides participants through the following topics:
- Handling Financial Changes
- Advance Medical & Legal Directives
- Estate Planning
- Choices in End of Life Care
- Final Wishes
- Understanding Grief
The University of Wisconsin–Madison Division of Extension provides equal opportunities in employment and programming in compliance with state and federal law. You may request an interpreter, materials in an alternative language and/or format, and/or other services to make this event more accessible. Contact us at planningahead@extension.wisc.edu or you may include your request on the registration form. Make your request by August 26, 2026 so there is enough time to make sure everything is ready for you. There is no added cost to you for these services.
