[Resources] Advance Care Planning Resources for Francophones

About the project

The Advance Care Planning (ACP) francophone adaptation initiative aims to enhance the adoption of ACP among Francophone populations in British Columbia. The translation and adaption of BCCPC’s ACP resources are the product of a strategic partnership between the BC Centre for Palliative Care (BCCPC) and Santé Ouest Francophone Community Health Centre (SOHC) at the La Société Résosanté Colombie Britannique.

The Need

The BC Centre for Palliative Care (BCCPC) has a history of responding to the needs of diverse communities by developing culturally adapted Advance Care Planning (ACP) resources. Building on successful adaptations for South Asian and Chinese communities, this initiative aims to translate and adapt selected ACP materials for francophone individuals and families in B.C. The project reflects a commitment to equity in healthcare and supports inclusive, meaningful care planning conversations and processes across all care settings.
