Dr. Justine Dembo

Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) is currently available to mentally capable Canadian adults with serious and incurable illnesses, diseases, and disabilities, who meet very specific eligibility criteria. Individuals who would request MAID solely on the basis of mental illness, however, are currently excluded by the law, and this exclusion is set to be lifted in March, 2024. Debates on this issue have been highly polarized and at times vitriolic, both in the public sphere and in medical, legal, and bioethics communities. In this talk, Dr. Justine Dembo will explore the many sides of this debate in a way that is intended to encourage critical thinking about MAID and mental illness.

Join the Consent Peer Education Program in our Online Speaker Spotlight series with survivor, educator, and speaker, Cayla Meredith!

You will learn:

  • What complex trauma is and what it impacts
  • How to use the knowledge of what has been impacted to take your first step in healing
  • How to continue to heal in a way that feels safe for you
  • How community impacts healing and why community is important long-term
  • You'll be offered a simple framework to refer back to as you continue forward in healing
