Join Next Step Songbook this Spring

Do you experience complicated feelings around life, your medical journey, connections with others? Are you struggling with your confidence and using your voice with your doctors, at school, work or in your social life?

Next Step Songbook is about finding your voice and your story through songwriting. Kimberly, Next Step Song Studio Director, will help you tell the story you want to tell. Songbook is a safe space to be you – to live your life in the midst of challenge or joy. You can express yourself through writing song lyrics, reflect on your life, practice using your voice and tell the story you want to tell about yourself.
