Writers for Recovery Workshop with Bess O'Brien, Wednesday, April 2, 6:30 pm

Vermont’s Writers for Recovery offers a unique outlet for people with substance use disorder to share their stories and heal.  In this engaging participatory workshop, you’ll hear the powerful stories of people in recovery. You’ll learn how and why the writing techniques used in Writers for Recovery enable people to ease their emotional pain, reduce their feelings of shame, and move forward toward recovery. You’ll even develop new tools for managing stress and difficult situations in your own life.

After this workshop, you’ll look at substance use disorder and people in recovery through a more positive and productive lens. And you’ll discover how the simple act of writing and sharing stories can help us all lead better, more connected lives.

This Vermont Humanities Council event is hosted by the St. Johnsbury Athenaeum.
