Dying With Dignity Canada is a national charitable organization that works to ensure access to quality end-of-life choice and care through advocacy, education, and support.
Please note that Dying With Dignity Canada does not coordinate MAID assessments or provisions, cannot provide medical or legal advice, and cannot compel a health care provider or institution to act.
If you have questions about medical assistance in dying (MAID), advance care planning, or end-of-life rights in Canada, the organization may be able to help you better understand your options and next steps.
Dying With Dignity Canada can:
- explain how the MAID framework works in your province or territory
- clarify eligibility criteria, safeguards, and common misunderstandings
- help you understand professional obligations for health care providers
- help you advocate for yourself within your care setting
- direct you to provincial or territorial care coordination services
If you are unsure what is happening in your situation, the organization can help you understand what questions to ask and where to turn next.
If you are struggling, in crisis, or in need of additional support, help is available. Call or text 9-8-8 anytime to connect with a trained responder who can listen and support you.
