Creativity Video Posted

I’ve posted a video of the first Creativity, Resolution, Art, Illness & Community (CRAIC) group meeting (held on June 16) on my website at http://www.albanyhealthmanagement.com/services_craic_pastmeetings.shtml. I hope you’ll take an hour to view the video and let me know what you think.

Some of the things that happened during the webinar include:

• We talked about how innovation and creativity are vital in developing a healthy response to chronic illness and trauma.

• Photographers Bill Glenning and Ann Fantauzzi presented images they have taken and talked about how their art has been influenced by their chronic illnesses. Their photos are also posted below the video on the Past Meetings webpage.

• Participants asked questions and offered insightful thoughts about how to use art and innovation and to stay motivated when you have a chronic illness. (We’ll have more conversation at future CRAIC meetings.)

At the end of the video we announced a date for the next meeting, which unfortunately we’ve had to reschedule. We haven’t set a date yet — it will be August or September — so please join our e-mail list to receive information about the date and registration details. Just contact us with your name and e-mail address and note in the comments box that you would like to be added to the CRAIC e-mail list.

  LOVE your blog adressing students and administrators getting on the same page about chronic illness. I have RSD/CRPS and am four classes and a placement away from my M.S.W., mental health. I’d like to go to a Ph.D., as well, and contribute as you do to the areas of chronic illness and chronic pain.

  I keep a blog about my life healing from this illness: http://prefontaine44.blogspot.com

  I’d also love to order your workbook for my clients. I’d like to do more individual therapy with the diagnosed. Much of my work has been in groups. I am starting a hospice placement in a month, but will be doing therapy with those who have cancer.
