PFN – Call for Submissions to Please See Me Issue #17. Theme: Free
What does it mean to you to be truly Free–to live your best life no matter your health or caregiving challenges?
- To be free of a diagnosis or illness because you have healed or overcome the worst of it?
- To come to place of resolve or acceptance with any diagnosis or illness–yours or that of a loved one?
- To have found a way to share caregiving responsibilities?
What does it look like for you when you do not feel free?
- To be tethered to illness and what that diagnosis requires of you
- To be a caregiver
- When life, relationships, or health make you feel anything but free?
Our PSM Issue #17 theme provides an opportunity to reflect on how health — mind, body, and spirit — limit, challenge, define or inspire our ability to feel free.
For providers: What does it mean to feel free to provide the care you believe is necessary? To care for not only your patients, but those you love? What does free healthcare mean to you?
These are the stories in all forms–creative nonfiction, short stories, and poetry–we are curating for Fall Issue #17.
As always – our theme is a place to start. Be sure to follow all Please See Me general Submission Guidelines, and consider entering our Mental Health Awareness Writing Contest!
