End Of Life Packet
The End of Life project is a compilation of resources intended to help persons and their families or guardians.
This information has been gathered and is provided with the generous assistance of people from the multiple New Mexico communities, DDSD Northwest Office, DDSD Metro Office, DDSD leadership and Ingrid Nelson from the UNM Continuum of Care Project.
We could not have completed this project without your contributions. We encourage the use of the many resources that are provided.
Please contact the UNM Continuum of Care Project at 505-925-2350 for specific trainings on End of Life topics.
