The Bedside Confessionals is an interdisciplinary community of caregivers who use writing to understand and champion their work at the bedside.

No matter what your "bedside" looks like, taking care of other people is not easy. Because of the challenges of cargiving, many of us do our work without stopping to process our emotions or stress. Research shows that every kind of bedside professional and caregiver can suffer aftereffects of the stresses of their care. Research also shows that writing can help.
