SUMMARY:Reflections in a Cup: An Exploration of Life [Rock Row]
DESCRIPTION:No session July 2. \nJoin us for a transformative series that invites you to explore life through the imagery of your favorite tea or coffee cup.

This workshop is an opportunity to connect with your spirit\, reflect on your journey\, and gain new perspectives amidst life’s challenges. \nOpen to adult Dempsey Center clients.

SUMMARY:Writing from the Heart I [Dempsey Connects]
DESCRIPTION:Research has shown that expressive writing can help improve quality of life for people living with cancer\, and doing so in a supportive community with others further enhances coping and resilience.

The content and prompts are new and distinct from those offered in “Writing from the Heart II.\n \nParticipants must attend the first session to participate in the full series. \n\nLed by Kerry Irish\, LCSW\,  OSW-C\, FAOSW.\n\nOpen to adult Dempsey Center clients with a cancer diagnosis at any stage and care partners.
