The Foundation takes the work of Life to Paper Publishing off the page and into the community. Our primary focus is bringing therapeutic life story writing workshops to mental health and addiction treatment centres, for people newly sober, rebuilding their lives, and often coming off the streets.
We are not therapists. But putting life to paper is therapeutic, and we have watched people heal from the process.
someone's spark.
Every book Life to Paper publishes supports the Foundation. Every workshop gives someone a way to face what happened, put it down on paper, and perhaps offer someone else a path forward.
When We Forgive: Stories of Hurt, Healing & Everything in Between was created to support the work of the Life to Paper Foundation. Every writer, along with the editor, designer and photographer, contributed their time, energy and stories in service of others. All proceeds support the Foundation.
