A Writing Workshop For Anyone Who Cares For Others

6 Saturdays 10:00am-12:00pm

March 2 - April 6

The role of the caregiver has a profound impact on the health of families and communities. From healthcare professionals that serve the public, to caregiving that is done in private, to the roles so embedded within a community that we may not even notice their impact, caregiving is essential work that requires tremendous energy and compassion. It also often goes unseen and underappreciated, leaving the caregiver feeling empty.

In this multi-week workshop we will come together as a group of caregivers and share in our collective experience. Through short readings, writing prompts and sharing, we will uncover the importance of our stories and leave feeling seen and cared for ourselves. Everyone is welcome. No writing or workshop experience needed.

This workshop is made possible by a partnership between Baypath University and LitArts RI.
