Provide compassionate lived-experience support and connection to family members and friends as they help their loved one who is considering or planning for medical assistance in dying (MAID) or those who are grieving a loss due to MAID.

COMMUNITY BUIlDING

MAID Family Support volunteers strive to provide meaningful support, free of judgment, to family members and friends of a loved one who is considering or planning for Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) or those who are grieving a loss due to MAID.

If you are interested in volunteering with us, we would love to speak with you further. Please complete the application form below and a volunteer will respond to your message.

Please note: At this time we’re only accepting applications from:

– people who have gone through MAID with a spouse or partner

– people from marginalized groups

– people with experiences with MAID and Alzheimer’s or dementia

We sincerely appreciate all interest but, as we are volunteer run, cannot manage all intakes at this time and are focusing on areas where there’s the greatest need. If you wish to apply now and you do not fit one of these categories, we will take your application and hold it until we are able to manage the intake.
