Bringing Advance Care Planning to Your Community: Project Talk Trial
Bringing Advance Care Planning to Your Community: Project Talk Trial
Program begins at 00:13
This informative session provides an overview of the Project Talk Trial, an exciting and unique opportunity to participate in an NIH-funded research project about advance care planning. The Project Talk Trial is a national project seeking 75 hosts across the US to each hold a community event for underserved populations. Events can be held in English or Spanish.
The session provides information about:
The need for advance care planning in underserved communities
Conversational activities that stimulate advance care planning
How to become a Project Talk Host
Hosts receive a $300 stipend to host one community event with a goal of 20 participants. Project Talk will provide all materials, and our team will travel to the event to assist with facilitation. These events may be held at almost any location and are commonly in churches, retirement communities, libraries, or other community centers.
