Veins, verse and voices: How poetry helped Local families with bleeding disorders be heard

The first in a special Haemcast series in collaboration with Local families with bleeding disorders, exploring aspects of family life.

In this episode, members of Local families with bleeding disorders discuss the online workshops that helped them explore their experiences and express their hopes, expectations and worries about the bleeding disorders that impact their families. They are joined by community advocate Rich Gorman, and poet and arts practitioner Dawn Gorman (no relation).

The poetry collection resulting from the workshops, Bleeding and Belonging, is available online as an eBook.
