These workshops focus on bringing together all aspects of planning for a serious illness like a heart attack or stroke — helping you clarify your values and preferences for care, while also aligning the healthcare, personal care, legal, and financial pieces that support them. The goal is to ensure your decision-makers are well prepared to speak on your behalf and advocate for you with confidence.
The Advance Serious Illness Plan is a comprehensive, values-based planning process that helps you:
In a supportive, small-group setting, a certified Plan Well Guide Navigator will guide you through thoughtful exercises and practical planning, helping you engage with each part of the Advance Serious Illness Planning process in a clear and supported way.
Workshops are intentionally kept small, with a maximum of 8 participants, to ensure a personalized and meaningful experience.

Not at all. You’ll just need to be comfortable using the basic functions of Zoom, such as joining a meeting and turning your camera or microphone on and off. For those doing the step-by-step option, your Navigator will walk you through logging into the Plan Well Guide system and guide you step-by-step through each part of the online Guides. Some participants find it helpful to use two devices—one for Zoom and one for the Plan Well Guide platform—but this is entirely optional.
If you’re attending to support a loved one as they create their plan, we encourage you to attend the workshop together so they can learn, reflect, and make their own decisions with your support.
Only one registration is required per person creating a plan. There is no additional cost for a support person who is attending to assist a loved one rather than create a plan of their own.
You can cancel your workshop up to 24 hours in advance without penalty. Cancellations made within 24 hours of the scheduled time are non-refundable.
Not to worry. Your Navigator will ensure you don’t miss any of the valuable content. If you’re unable to attend a session, we’ll provide pre-recorded segments so you can review the material at your own pace and stay fully up to date.
That’s absolutely fine. Some participants already have legal documents in place when they attend an ASIP workshop.
You’ll still benefit from a deeper understanding of how legal and financial preparations work alongside healthcare and personal care planning, including how to help protect assets and reduce the risk of misuse of funds.
After the workshop, you may choose to review or update your Power of Attorney with your lawyer or notary — or you may decide that your existing document continues to meet your needs. The workshop is designed to support informed decision-making, not to require changes.
No problem — we’re happy to help. Simply email us at info@planwellguide.com, and we’ll confirm whether you already have access.
