Combine the power of storytelling with the art of graphic representation and you’ve got Cactus Cancer Society’s newest program: Story Mapping! This workshop is about empowering young adults who are at any stage of their cancer experience to find their voice, tell their story, and thrive by appreciating the challenges and gifts inherent in any cancer experience.
By creatively and courageously processing experiences, our community members open themselves up to all the lessons coping with cancer and the difficulties of life can bring. By sharing their stories, our community members promote healing through connection.Â
Spread out over three weeks, we’ll craft our cancer stories, map it out, and have a sharing session within our intimate workshop group.Â
