Is this course right for me?

Target Audience: All students

This is a taster session for our 8-week therapeutic writing group and is facilitated by Student Counselling and Write to Recovery. Everyone has a story. Writing it down can help you in many different ways. If you've ever put pen to paper, you might already know how powerful words can be. It can be helpful when you've had difficult experiences to get them out of your head and onto the page. The sharing of life stories can create lasting bonds between people, support personal growth and give people the chance to view their journey in a different light.

"Over the last 25 years every time they research the effects of writing on your mental health it robustly demonstrates that it does something helpful"  says John McCormack of the Scottish Recovery Network. Get together with others in a supportive environment that will facilitate you getting in touch with your creative energies to tell your story, in your way, to whom you want.

 

The eight-week workshop series is bookable now or you can attend this session first to see if it is something that you would like to continue with.



Delivered By: Sarah Lockwood and Write to Recovery
