Description
Axios Consulting will share how personal experience inspired the creation of a service that supports families considering Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD) abroad, specifically with DIGNITAS in Switzerland. This presentation will introduce what DIGNITAS is, the origins of Axios, and the challenges that shaped its mission. We will describe the practical support we provide—guiding families through membership, coordinating travel and logistics, and offering translation services in Zurich—along with insights into costs, accessibility, and the legal research that informed our work. Most importantly, this session will answer questions, spark meaningful conversations, and demonstrate how Axios can compassionately walk alongside families during one of life’s most difficult journeys.
