Reflective Writing and Storytelling: A Wellness Workshop for Nurses in MAID Care

When:  Sep 17, 2026 from 12:00 to 14:00 (ET)
Caring for patients in MAID (Medical Aid in Dying) settings can be deeply meaningful—and emotionally complex. This nurse-centered wellness workshop offers a supportive space for reflection, connection, and renewal through the practices of reflective writing and storytelling.  Participants will be guided to explore the therapeutic power of stories: our own, those of our colleagues, and those entrusted to us by our patients. Through gentle writing prompts, shared reflection, and intentional listening, nurses will examine how storytelling can foster emotional processing, resilience, and a deeper sense of professional purpose.  This workshop emphasizes community-building among caregivers while introducing practical reflective writing techniques that can be integrated into both personal self-care routines and professional nursing practice. No prior writing experience is required—only a willingness to reflect and engage.  Attendees will earn continuing education credit while discovering meaningful, creative approaches to wellness that honor the emotional labor of MAID care and support sustainable, compassionate nursing practice.
