Writing Group for Parents of Special Needs Kids

Parents of kids with special needs have challenges: needing to become an expert in your child’s disability; managing in the face of logistical, physical, and emotional complications; functioning with little time to yourself, and often a sense of isolation from other parents who look like they have it easier. I am offering this group because the potential for burnout is high for hardworking parents who’ve had to sacrifice to care for their family. Finding an inner spark and fostering your creativity is one way to lift burnout; connecting with other parents dealing with similar challenges is another.

My Other Groups
Online Writing Group for Healthcare Professionals
I offer this group for healthcare professionals because I’ve seen that overtaxed docs, RNs, NPs, PAs, CNMs and other medical professionals need a place to slow down and process their experiences in the field. Participation in this group will help give voice to the stray thoughts and observations that otherwise have nowhere to go; to process emotions by working them through on the page, and then sharing them with a group of people who get it. Tapping into one’s creativity and sense of fun and experimentation can also help keep burnout at bay.
