Your Voice, Your Care™
A guided, interactive tool for understanding your personal directive and health care wishes
Most people know they should have something in place for medical decisions. What stops them isn’t a lack of caring. It’s not knowing what the document is called in their province, who the right person to name might be, or how to put their values and wishes into words that will actually guide the people who need to act for them.
Your Voice, Your Care™ is a self-guided, interactive tool that walks you through everything involved in a personal directive, with province-specific guidance, plain-language explanations, and prompts that help you think through what matters most to you before you bring it to a professional.
Time: work at your own pace
Format: self-guided, interactive
Device: desktop, tablet, or mobile
What this is
Your Voice, Your Care™ is a comprehensive, self-paced guide that covers the full scope of what a personal directive involves. Not just what the document is, but who you should consider naming, what decisions your representative can make on your behalf, how to put your health care values and wishes into words, and what happens if the document is never put in place at all.
You’ll be guided through each topic with clear explanations, province-specific context, and questions that help you think through your own situation. The tool covers what the document is called in your province, who can serve as your representative, what kinds of decisions they can make, how to document your wishes about specific medical treatments and personal care, and what the default process looks like without a directive in place.
The tool is designed to be used before you meet with a lawyer or notary, whether you’re starting from scratch, revisiting a document that no longer reflects your situation, or trying to put into words something you’ve never quite found the language for.
At the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of what you want, who should speak for you, and a more informed starting point for the conversations that matter most.
What’s covered
- What a personal directive is and what it’s called in your province or territory
- The difference between a personal directive and a power of attorney for finances
- Who you can name as your representative and what to look for in that person
- What your representative can and cannot decide on your behalf
- Naming an alternate and why it matters
- How to document your health care values and wishes in a way that provides real guidance
- Specific medical decisions you can address, including life-sustaining treatment and comfort care
- Personal care and living arrangement preferences your representative should know
- What mental capacity means and when your representative’s authority begins
- What happens without a directive in place, including the default decision maker hierarchy in your province
- What to do next, before and after you see a lawyer
- Province-specific terminology and context throughout
What this is not
- legal advice or a substitute for a lawyer or notary
- medical advice or a substitute for a conversation with your doctor
- a document preparation service
- a one-size-fits-all guide that ignores where you live
Your Voice, Your Care™ is designed to help you think more clearly and prepare more thoroughly, not to replace the professionals who will help you put the document in place.
Who this is for
This tool is a good fit if you:
- don’t have a personal directive in place and want to understand what’s involved before meeting with a lawyer
- have a document in place but aren’t sure it still reflects your values or the right person
- have had a significant life change such as a health diagnosis, a change in your family relationships, or a move to a new province
- want to think carefully about your health care values and put them into words before a professional appointment
- want to arrive at a professional conversation informed, not overwhelmed
You don’t need any documents, preparation, or prior knowledge to begin.
