The Nidus Personal Planning Resource Centre is a non-profit, charitable organization.
Nidus provides • Public legal education on personal planning and related matters such as health care consent, living wills and advance directives • Problem-solving and coaching in support of best practices for attorneys, representatives, and monitors • Training for volunteers and organizations • Policy consultation for third parties
Nidus also operates a centralized Registry for personal planning documents in partnership with Juricert Inc. of the Law Society of British Columbia.
Nidus is currently the only community-based resource in Canada devoted to personal planning. Its existence sets British Columbia apart as a leader in addressing the critical needs of an aging population and in facilitating Representation Agreements as a legal model for supported decision making which inspired Article 12 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities (2008).
