NAMI Dane County's (Re)visions through Writing workshop is for anyone affected by mental illness who is interested in exploring the therapeutic processes of writing and storytelling.
People have long turned to storytelling to understand themselves and the world, and writing can be a powerful way for individuals affected by mental illness to give voice to their experiences. This workshop will provide a space for those who have experienced mental illness—whether themselves or through a loved one—to explore fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction writing. The workshop will be structured around group interest, but will give all participants the opportunity to receive constructive feedback on their writing. Relevant readings, discussions, and exercises will also be included. This workshop aims to embrace a variety of perspectives, and both new and experienced writers are welcome to join us.
**Please note the time commitment required to participate in the (Re)visions through Writing program. It is important that participants show up to each of the seven sessions.
