✍️ This week's healing writing prompt.

Our writing workshops offer a safe haven for survivors of sexual trauma, where they can safely explore their experiences and find healing. In a supportive and nurturing environment, participants engage in sharing their stories and connecting with others in an online, anonymous forum. These two-hour sessions, held both online and in-person, combine personal reflection, group sharing, and peer support to foster healing and growth. To learn more, visit: https://lnkd.in/e2PSJeJU

Thank you TLA Network for awarding Text Power Telling Magazine the Outstanding Transformative Language Arts Publication of the Year award. We are so thrilled our work has made an impact in its short but rich life as a digital arts magazine. TPT seeks to create a supportive and healing community for survivors to use their writing, art, and creativity to take back power from sexual trauma.  Our goal is to offer a safe creative space that provides room for all the complexities of what it is to be human and its intersection with trauma and oppression.  We are honored so many survivors have shared their art with us. We dedicate this award to them. ♥︎
