The Clinic, founded in 2017 by nurse and artist Tara Rynders, combines art, music, movement, and caring science to create immersive experiences and resiliency workshops for healthcare professionals.
Actors Theatre of Louisville is partnering with Rynders to bring this work to Kentucky, to support the health and wellness of our nursing communities through innovative programming at the intersection of art and service. This work centers self-compassion and self-care, and raises awareness around the detrimental effects of compassion fatigue, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress.
