Expressing emotions in writing can be healing. Whether you reflect on past experiences or imagine the future, writing can promote well-being. It helps uncover new thoughts and feelings, which can strengthen a mind-body connection. Writing offers a sense of power and newfound energy to heal.

Our Writer-in-Residence, Dr. Susan Sample, is a professional creative writer who comes to Huntsman Cancer Institute each week and works with patients, their family members, and caregivers, as well as staff, to help them learn about and try their hand at creative and expressive writing. Join Susan for creative and expressive activities: writing stories, poems, reflective essays, journaling, personal letters, and more.
