Writeface Workshops For Veterans

Military deployments often place our service men and women in situations requiring them to be hyper-vigilant, prepared to react immediately to any threat. In that environment, the ability to react immediately, to react without reflecting is a life-saving skill. However, in civilian life reacting without reflecting can cause problems, including PTSD. The writing process requires focus, but also requires thought and reflection. In this way our guided writing programs can mitigate some Post Traumatic Stress symptoms. In addition, the opportunity to reflect and write gives the veteran a voice, and a creative outlet to express themselves. WriteFace guided writing workshops are free to veterans, family members, and caregivers.
