You are not alone.
Navigating illness can be isolating, but it doesn’t have to be. At Health Story Collaborative, we believe in story sharing for health.
We are patient-centered, research-based, and committed to the therapeutic power of storytelling. We strive to create a space where story sharing is valued and honored within the healthcare system.
Explore the site, listen to stories and consider crafting and sharing your own.
In the Shadows of Illness: Elevating Caregiver Voices
Join us on April 12 from 4–6 p.m. ET for Health Story Collaborative’s annual event: In the Shadows of Illness: Elevating Caregiver Voices.
This story-sharing event is dedicated to the often-unseen experiences of caregivers. Our three storytellers—Martha Eichler, Jack Millard, and Joy Peskin—will share the challenges they’ve faced, the unexpected gifts they’ve received, and the profound lessons they’ve learned along the way. This event creates space to honor their labor and remind us that caregivers, too, need care.
