Connection Comics Caregivers Workshop

A WELCOMING AND INTRODUCTORY WORKSHOP EXPLORING THE DYNAMICS OF CAREGIVING RELATIONSHIPS - FOR ANYONE WHO OFFERS CARE TO OTHERS, THIS MIGHT INCLUDE PEOPLE WORKING IN HEALTH, EDUCATION, SOCIAL CARE OR THE VOLUNTARY SECTOR.  

Throughout my career as an art therapist, I have always been interested in working in innovative and accessible ways. I began drawing comics as part of my practice and discovered it was a good way to introduce and share psychological ideas and health information. In 2025 I published Connection Comics. Using these original illustrated booklets as a starting point, this workshop offers participants a chance to share, reflect and gain support with their experiences of caregiving.

The workshop will include :

• A welcome drink on arrival and settling in.
• A short presentation introducing the illustrated booklets and key ideas about caregiving relationships and ways to support your wellbeing.
• Space for conversation and facilitated group discussion.
  
• Time for Individual reflection, with option to work with art materials if desired.
• Ideas for integrating this learning into your life and any next steps.
