About the Webinar


Join us for a SCGS Webinar with Luara Hedgecock presents "Navigating Sensitive Topics: Writing about Difficult Chapters of the Family's History".


Many of us avoid sensitive topics as we compose family stories. It's not that we want to hide the truth, but rather because we're not sure how to write about it. This session provides practical strategies for approaching difficult chapters of the family history with honesty and sensitivity. Learn research and documentation techniques for conflicting perspective, guidelines for writing about living people, securing permissions, principles of trauma-informed writing, and tone/language choices that maintain accuracy while respecting dignity. We'll also address common ethical dilemmas. Learn to craft engaging, historically accurate family narratives that promote understanding of family members and the times in which they lived.
