EASTON, MARYLAND — For All Seasons is hosting a free community speaker series with Dr. Annie Brewster on Wednesday, Sept. 16, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Ebenezer Theater, 17 S. Washington St. in Easton. Healthy Talbot and Discover Easton list the evening under Brewster’s keynote title, “Reclaiming Our Stories, Reclaiming Ourselves,” as part of For All Seasons’ 10th Annual No Matter What… You Matter Suicide Prevention Campaign during Suicide Prevention Month.

Brewster is listed as an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, a practicing physician at Massachusetts General Hospital, founder of the Health Story Collaborative, and author of The Healing Power of Storytelling. The Healthy Talbot listing says that, as a physician and as a patient living with multiple sclerosis, she has seen how storytelling can help people and communities process illness, trauma, and loss. The keynote, the same pages say, will address how telling and listening to personal stories can deepen connection, strengthen resilience, and support hope and healing.
