Anna has been a facilitator for Curable Groups, a 12-week educational and support group program for chronic pain recovery. Her writing appears on The Good Men Project, Medium, and Mad in America and you can find her at www.annaholtzman.com .
Donna Jenson is Founder and Director of Time To Tell – with a mission to spark stories from lives affected by incest and sexual abuse to be told and heard. Donna wrote and performs her one-woman play, What She Knows: One Woman’s Way Through Incest to Joy, which is based on her own experience of surviving incest. She leads writing/mindfulness workshops for survivors interested in finding their voice and using it. She has performed her play and led workshops at correctional facilities, colleges, police departments, conferences for mental health professionals and sexual assault advocates, community organizations, and facilities with people in need of healing.
