Writing is a critical avenue for practitioners to share ideas and findings, advocate for change, and increase awareness and access in broader communities. One barrier to writing submission and publication is a lack of time for it; however, a lack of confidence in writing skills is equally contributory. This full-day writing retreat will tackle both challenges. Come prepared with the outline you will be turning into a professional piece of writing.
