Barriers to completion are vast\, but many struggle to begin because of uncertainty around several factors\, including including family history\, identity\, bias\, and faith. Aging services professionals\, healthcare professionals\, death doulas\, and others in someone’s circle of care have a unique opportunity to open the door for these discussions. \nWe will highlight barriers to advance care planning and three of the critical “Fwords” that may arise; faith\, family\, and fatphobia. Sharing frameworks and insights from research and bedside experience\, we will highlight some of the ways these themes can be incorporated into the discussion safely and with care. \n  \nParticipants in this webinar will be able to:\n\nShare two barriers to advance care planning in America.\nDescribe how a professional’s bias can impact a human’s end-of-life experience.\nAccess at least one resource that can be downloaded and used to support these discussions within their workplace.\n\n  \nPresenters:\nIsabella Carr (she/her) is an incoming Ph.D. student in History of Consciousness at the University of California\, Santa Cruz.
