Hillcroft is excited to be pairing up with The Facing Project this upcoming fall!
“Facing Disabilities is a community wide storytelling project that will give voice to those in the East Central Indiana community who are facing disabilities.
In July, Twenty writers in the community will be matched with twenty storytellers – those facing disabilities from all angles, including those with a disability, those with a disabled loved one, those who work with disabled individuals, etc.
Writers and storytellers will meet, get to know each other, and the writer will write a story, anonymously, from a first-person perspective, as if they were that person.  The stories will be compiled into a book. Hardcopies of the book will be distributed to local organizations and individuals who may benefit from the stories and Hillcroft’s services.
An event and book launch will be held in October where the stories will be given a stage and a voice through monologues and other performances.” (from the Facing Project’s website)
Currently we are recruiting writers and storytellers to be a part of this wonderful project. If you’d like more information, please check out the website at:
