COUNSELING GROUPS

WRITE IT OUT! A CREATIVE COUNSELING GROUP

Writing, especially creatively, can have therapeutic elements such as self-expression, self-reflection, and mindfulness. CWHC’s newest Counseling Group, Write It Out! is a creative, nonfiction counseling group for those who want to explore themselves, their experiences, and their emotions via writing.

In Write It Out!, CWHC Counselors Ethan and Shelley will work with group members as they write creative nonfiction, reflect on, and share their work, reflecting on personal experiences and self-growth. Group time will be spent creating space to utilize some of the creative expression through writing, as well as processing what had come through writing. Writing prompts will be developed based on the group participants, but could include, “Write about a moment that divided your life into before and after.”

Ethan and Shelley will create space for the processing of the elements, themes, and emotions that arise from group members’ writing.

Write It Out! will meet on Fridays from 2-3:15pm for eight weeks beginning on March 29th and ending on May 17th in CWHC's Meeting Room (1025 W Sunnyside Ave. Ste. 201 Chicago, IL 60640).

There is $25 suggested fee, but will slide down based on each individual’s ability to access services. Payment is not required at the time of registration.

Please note that this is not a trauma processing group. The facilitators will contact all registered participants prior to the first group meeting to elaborate on this further, as well as to discuss various payment options.

Space is limited and registration is required. To register, click here.
