MAID
(Medical Aid In Dying)
Support Group for Men
You Don’t Have to Walk This Alone
Choosing Medical Aid in Dying can be a deeply personal and complex journey — often carried quietly and in isolation.
This virtual peer support group offers men a place to speak honestly, listen deeply, and be understood by others who are walking a similar path — without judgment, pressure, or clinical treatment.
Here, you don’t need to explain your decision. You don’t need to be strong. You don’t need to have answers.
You only need to show up as you are.
What This Group Offers:
-
Confidential, small-group support
-
Guided weekly conversations
-
Space to reflect on timing, meaning, and legacy
-
Support in navigating family relationships
-
Respect for personal beliefs and choices
-
A community of peers walking a similar path
What This Group Is Not:
-
Therapy or counseling
-
Medical consultation
-
Legal guidance
-
Crisis services
-
A forum for persuasion
Who This Group Is For:
This group is designed for men facing a terminal diagnosis who have chosen MAID under California law.
We welcome individuals who are already working alongside a licensed medical care team to navigate this process.
Here, you will find a safe and supportive space for meaningful connection and reflection.
