Newly Launched “Let’s Talk About ACP™” Website Offers Workshops and Training in End-of-Life Care - Advance Care Planning (ACP) #ACP





"We’re excited to help meet the need for advance care planning education within more Black communities through the Let’s Talk About ACP program."
Dr. Gloria Thomas Anderson

The Let's Talk About ACP™ website (letstalkaboutacp.org) is a platform for enrollment and learning, but the primary goal is to encourage individuals and families to talk about what their healthcare wishes would be in case of a medical emergency or life-threatening illness. It is a companion to Heart Tones' ACP for AA™, or Advance Care Planning for African Americans, a national outreach initiative that partners with organizations to help bridge the racial disparity gap in healthcare ACP delivery, launched in November 2021.

Dr. Anderson shares three ways to become involved in the Let’s Talk About ACP program: “Your organization can offer advance care planning education by becoming a facilitator, host, or sponsor. Our team is ready to help you get started–just reach out to us on the website to schedule a brief informational session.”

Churches, ministries, community groups, nonprofits, and healthcare-related organizations are encouraged to visit the website to learn more about bringing the Let’s Talk About ACP™ program into their communities. The new website offers Let’s Talk About ACP™ certification training for two facilitators per organization, unlimited annual usage, and supportive tools to assist organizations with hosting workshops, through an accessible platform within the Let’s Talk About ACP™ website.

“We’re excited to help meet the need for advance care planning education within more Black communities through the Let’s Talk About ACP program,” Dr. Anderson says about the launch of her new website.
