Presentations and Conversations About MAiD in Canada

We speak with a wide range of audiences about Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), including health professionals, community groups, conferences, and media programs. Our presentations focus on clear explanations, thoughtful discussion, and real-world clinical experience. If you’re planning an event or discussion and think our perspective could be helpful, we’d welcome the opportunity to connect.

These presentations focus on clear, plain-language explanations of how MAiD works in Canada, common misconceptions, and how individuals and families can navigate end-of-life decisions.

Sessions typically include a presentation followed by audience questions, creating space for thoughtful discussion about law, safeguards, ethics, and patient experiences.

  • “The students had nothing but positive things to say about your presentation. They said you were so knowledgeable, and engaging, and really appreciated your time in coming in to talk about MAiD with us. I echo their comments and whole heartedly will recommend the value of your talk for future terms. They also brought up the same thing I highlighted and having the pictures alongside the history and added personal context to the evolution of MAiD made it that much more interesting to learn about” - Crystal
