Want to host a workshop?
I have developed a disability & chronic illness focused, remote-friendly, workshop on making visual Symptom Maps as part of a study with the University of Washington.
I am looking for partners to host these workshops, including (but not limited to!) disability advocacy groups, other health & care partners, or creative workshop producers. For more information, please email me. (illmarks @ nyx mir . c o m)
