Are you interested in facilitating a creative writing workshop with survivors of domestic and sexual violence? The Writing to Wholeness toolkit can help. The toolkit offers instruction and ideas for what to write and read in a workshop, as well as insight into the nuance of the facilitator role.

It was developed by experienced creative writing instructors and combines years of research, study, workshop facilitation, and feedback from participants. The result is a guide that is both practical and foundational.

We provide guidance on how to focus workshops on healing expression and community change. In workshops, participants use writing to reflect on experiences that shape their lives, to share with other survivors, and to reimagine pain as a spark for social change.

If you want to explore the connection between writing and healing with your community, then this toolkit is for you. 

The Writing to Wholeness toolkit is a free resource.
