Expressive Writing as Self-Care
A cancer diagnosis can bring up many complicated feelings and emotions. One tool to help navigate, untangle, and reprocess our experiences is expressive writing. Whether you write in the form of journaling, personal essay/memoir, or poetry, having a creative outlet can be a helpful and healing experience!
Join poet and personal essayist and breast cancer survivor, Pam Mathison-Levitt, to learn more about how you can use writing as part of your self-care! All levels welcome.
