In collaboration with All Things Become New (and with funding from the Maine Humanities Council), I'm pleased to share that I will be teaching a FREE Writing through Caregiving Workshop in Presque Isle on Tuesday, June 24. This workshop will be taught in a hybrid format so caregivers may join in-person or through Zoom.

This past fall, I collaborated with the Maine-based nonprofit, All Things Become New, to submit a grant to the Maine Humanities Council for an Arts & Humanities Grant. Our plan was to bring community writing workshops to Aroostook County, the northernmost county in Maine (affectionately referred to as "the County" here in Maine). Last month, Suzanne and I were thrilled to learn that our project was selected to receive a grant. Over the coming months, we will be planning and scheduling five community writing workshops (two virtual ones and three in-person) to happen this spring and summer. More details will be shared soon! To learn more about All Things Become New and the incredible impact the organization has on northern Maine communities, visit their website here.  I'm thrilled to be featured on Christina Keys' Keys for Caregiving for National Caregivers Month. Christina and I met a little over a year ago at a caregiver retreat in Carrabassett Valley, Maine, and she is an incredible champion for caregivers all over the U.S. For this project, she asked several of the family caregivers she knows to put together a quick video and share a little about their story, what they currently do within the caregiver space, and a tip for supporting family caregivers in your life. You can see the entire collection of videos here, and you can learn more about Christina's work here.  I'm excited to be teaching a writing workshop for the upcoming Brain Injury Alliance of Vermont Conference in December. The conference is virtual, so you can join from anywhere! Learn more and register here.  Financial assistance is available, and you don't need to live in MaineGeneral's service area to register for this workshop!  All Things Become New and I are collaborating to offer a "Writing through Caregiving" workshop over Zoom on November 19, 2024. If you need any accommodations or the registration fee is a barrier, please reach out to Suzanne Morneault at All Things Become New at 207-540-5446.  Here in Maine, we are fortunate to have Camp Ray of Hope, which is an annual weekend retreat for Maine individuals and families grieving the death of a loved one. More info about this year's Camp Ray of Hope weekend is below.  I'm thrilled to be collaborating with the Maine-based organization, All Things Become New, to facilitate a series of community writing workshops. The first, one June 11, is "Writing through Grief."  Upcoming Workshop: "Writing through Caregiving" for Maine Brain Injury Caregivers on February 211/30/2024 This workshop will be offered virtually on Wednesday, February 21, 2024, in conjunction with the Maine Brain Injury Caregiver Support Group.
