canDID Expressions

canDID Expressions’ mission is to foster conversations about life with trauma-based dissociation through writing and other expressive arts.

canDID Expressions offers virtual writing and art groups and classes to people who experience trauma-based dissociation.

Our vision:

We seek a world in which the lived experience of trauma-based dissociation is widely understood.

Our values:

• Community - We are a unified group of people with joint ownership and participation.
• Wholeheartedness - We engage with authenticity, compassion and courage while embracing our imperfection.
• Respect - We treat each other with dignity and gratitude, emphasizing everyone’s worth and contribution.
• Self-expression - We encourage the sharing of thoughts, feelings, and ideas in a variety of media to portray a person’s way of being, experiencing, and perceiving.
• Connection - We facilitate each person being seen, heard, and valued.
