Adaptations
Get to know our story.

We love when people take our content and make it their own. The 7 Keys and our tools are meant to be flexible, so you can adapt them to fit your community, culture, or setting. Whether you’re sharing stories in a workshop, weaving the concepts into your own teaching, or tailoring examples to resonate with your audience, the heart of the message remains the same: helping people have better conversations and experiences in serious illness. If you have an adaptation you want to share please email us.

Here we share some of the Adaptations of the Seven Keys from all over the globe:
In an Edmonton, Alberta ALS Clinic, our book is featured in the Patient Library. A Nurse in the clinic adapted the 5 Questions to Ask Your Healthcare Team to be more relevant to the patients they serve. This handout is included in the folder that is given to all new patients.
The Team at IPEPA (Indigenous Program of Experience in the Palliative Approach) recognized how the Seven Keys could be adapted to their community context.
​
They created a one-page resource to support community members to change a harmful experience of serious illness to a healing experience, that is grounded in sovereignty, dignity and self-determination.
​
One of our amazing followers shared how they left the Seven Keys as a message on a white board in a hospital after an admission. They wanted the next patient (and the healthcare team!) to use the keys.
Dr. Bunni Bresver walks us through the Seven Keys Tai Chi in this bonus clip from Episode 99 of the Waiting Room Revolution podcast.
Palliative Care Western Australia (PCWA) adapted the Seven Keys for their 'Palliative Caring' education booklet for patients and families.
​
They also adapted our 'What to do when facing a serious illness' resource (created with Health Canada) for their audience.
