APA’s Resolution on Palliative Care and End-of-life Issues
The Committee on Aging (CONA) is submitting a revised version of APA’s Resolution on Palliative Care and End-of-life Issues for public comment. The original resolution was written by CONA and passed by APA Council of Representatives in 2017. In CONA’s review of policies, CONA identified that the content and language of the resolution needed significant updating.
The proposed revision of the original resolution provides current science, corrects outdated language, and addresses present day issues related to the impact of palliative care and end-of-life issues on individuals and society. It is CONA’s hope that the revised resolution will serve APA’s advocacy efforts and encourage research and dissemination of evidence-based assessment and interventions mitigating the psychological effects of palliative care and end-of-life issues on society.
The document is available for a thirty (30) day period of public review and comment. We invite you to review the draft and share your feedback through the APA comment portal by August 18, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern.
