Colorado Humanities and the Mt. Carmel Veterans Service Center invite veterans, spouses, family, and other military-affiliated members of the public to join free expressive writing workshops!
Expressive writing helps relieve the effects of trauma on your life and reduces stress. Research shows that the ability to manage your life through your story increases overall wellness. Prior writing experience is not required.
Workshops will be led by Pikes Peak Community College English Professor and MFA Creative Writing Faculty at SNHU, Cindy Skaggs, who is also an Air Force veteran.
Skaggs’ areas of specialization include fiction and nonfiction writing, building writing communities, with a research focus on gender bias in poverty, war writing, and PTSD.
This is a free event for Veterans and their families.

Veterans Writing Workshops have moved to Fridays. "I cannot think of a better time to do expressive writing in a group setting," said Colorado Humanities Director of Programs & Center for the Book Josephine Jones. "The weekend allows you time to reflect on what you uncover in your writing and learn about how you respond to touching on past."
