Focusing on recovery: Using narrative as an experiential tool to reflect on the pandemic - prose
June 6, 2023
A growing body of literature supports narrative-based medicine as a tool to share experiences and express emotion. Earlier this year, we offered a three-session narrative medicine workshop series facilitated by Dr. Melanie Hnatiuk that included prose, poetry, and graphic media. Based on the feedback from those who attended, we are planning to offer additional opportunities for drop-in narrative medicine workshop sessions. The first of these will be held on June 6 and focus on prose. Join us for this two-hour session on writing prose as a tool to aid in recovery from the pandemic.
