Join other family caregivers in a supportive creative nonfiction workshop.
Are you currently caring for a child, parent, partner or other family member who depends on you to meet basic daily needs, or have you cared for a loved one in the past? Family caregiving can be a source of enormous stress, and also a place where we discover the central questions of our lives and art. Join other family caregivers in a supportive creative nonfiction workshop where we’ll explore writing prompts specific to caregiving, read the work of diverse family caregivers, and write and revise our own. Whether you’re a beginning or experienced writer, you’ll find new approaches and resources here, including an orientation to the Mandel Memory Lab and a group reading at the end.
