DA-SPC-306:  
Renee Williams

Not on His License

Renee Williams believes her son's lack of donor registration means he intentionally chose not to donate. The advocate must gently correct this misconception, avoid argument, and help her reflect on who Jalen was rather than focusing solely on registry status.

Through the challenge of misinterpreting non-registration as an explicit refusal to donate, the primary learning objectives are to:

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
  • Clarify that non-registration is not the same as refusal
  • Respond patiently to repeated concerns
  • Use plain-language explanations
  • Shift from registry status to personal values
  • Recognize opportunities for reflection through family experiences
