Students are invited to attend the creative writing course over 6 weeks. Come and have a go at creative writing to lift your mood! There is much evidence that creative writing is of benefit to our mental health in many different ways.
As we write, we can express difficult feelings, explore memories, distract from negative thoughts and stimulate our brains.
During our sessions, there is opportunity to write on a variety of topics, share writing in a supportive environment, connect with a writing group from the local community, and contribute a piece of your writing to a Recovery College book.
You would be most welcome to join us!
