Ethics of End-of-Life Planning workshop

The Area Agency on Aging presents a 3.0 credit hour continuing education workshop, Ethics of End-of-Life Planning: Burden of Love, Not Guilt, from 9 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., on Tuesday online via Zoom.

The cost is $40 to earn continuing education units or $20 to attend without CEUs. This training meets the Ohio Counselor,

Social Worker, & Marriage and Family Therapist Board ethics training requirement. Advance registration is requested. More information and the registration form is available on the website, info4seniors.org or by emailing khaus@info4seniors.org.

The presenter is Judy A. LaMusga, attorney and counselor-at-law. Judy has 35 years of public service with individuals living with disabilities and their families. Since opening her practice, LaMusga Law Office, LLC, she has worked for over 15 years as an attorney-at-law in the Miami Valley region specializing in planning for persons with disabilities, elder-law planning, estate planning, end-of-life planning and guardianship.

This workshop will assist professionals in having important conversations so that when the

end of life occurs, a burden of love can exist instead of a burden of guilt.

Workshop participants will learn the legal framework of end-of-life planning, including health care powers of attorney, living wills, do not resuscitate (DNR), physician medical order and final disposition of remains. Most importantly, attendees will learn about the human, ethical framework for end-of-life planning.

The Ohio Board of Nursing accepts events approved for counselors and social workers for continuing nursing education.
