Writing as Therapy
Today is my 25th slice for the
March Slice of Life Challenge on
Two Writing Teachers.
I have long believed that writing is therapy. It works for me. I've seen it work for students. Today I got tagged in a Facebook post by my friend, Heather...
Our local shelter for women and children is collecting journals for kids and teens. They use the journals as part of their therapy. I am so excited to collect unused journals of mine to donate. I put out a call on social media hoping to collect more. Students and teachers are responding! I can't wait to collect these precious journals and donate them to this worthy cause.
Writing as therapy...YES.
Holly asked how others can donate. The organization is called Loudoun Abused Women's Shelter. The address is 105 East Main Street, Leesburg, VA 20176. Thank you!
What a wonderful project. Yes I do believe writing is therapy. Yes, I know that. Yes, that is part of why I write. Yes, I am AMAZED at the power of social media to do good deeds.

ReplyDeleteThanks Holly! I updated the post with contact information!! You are so thoughtful and generous!

ReplyDeleteThis is so important to remember and honor - for ourselves and our students! What a wonderful project!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to do in our own communities! I am even thinking about doing this as a project at school!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I love it when something that starts out small ends up growing beyond our expectations.

ReplyDeleteThrough writing things can become so much more clear. Here's to sharing that gift with those who may be right on the edge of clarity. What a great cause.
