Led by Laura Davis, this special workshop is designed specifically for parents who are caring for children who are ill or who have special needs.

Parenting a child with special needs can be stressful and isolating. The incredible demands our children place on us leave us with little if any time for self-reflection, self-care, or self-expression. Yet if the caregiver is burnt out, the whole family suffers. It is essential that we carve out time to take care of ourselves.

Writing in a safe and confidential environment with a gifted, compassionate facilitator and a roomful of other parents in your shoes can be incredibly healing. Give yourself the healing gift of time and space for yourself. Spend a morning exploring your struggles, fears and hopes in a writing circle with other special needs parents. Everyone is welcome to attend. You do not have to consider yourself a writer or have any previous writing experience to attend.

This is a three-hour class, with a pot luck lunch to follow.
