We have partnered with Suzanne Edison, a writer, a parent and a former psychotherapist to offer a series of 3 virtual expressive healing arts workshops specifically for parents and caregivers of children with chronic medical conditions. Participants will have the opportunity to explore different aspects of their personal experience as a witness and participant of their child's medical journey. Each workshop is 2 hours long and covers themes related to Managing Trauma, Stress & Grief, Building Resilience, and Finding Hope & Gratitude. Each workshop involves reading selections in poetry and brief prose, writing prompts, and additional expressive offerings. All of this is explored in a supportive group atmosphere.

 

The workshop is a great way to open feelings and cope and heal via writing
