To Safe and Sound Dorset, creative writing is any writing that goes outside the bounds of normal. It is writing with several intentions: to entertain us, comfort us, or perhaps teach us a lesson, to share experiences, imagination or see things in a new way, from someone else’s
perspective.
Led by Katie on the first Monday of each month we select various topics. Apart from this being fun, many of our service users report mental, emotional, and physical health benefits. Creative writing alleviates stress levels and can ward off depression and anxiety to current problems, which is why we support this expression. In fact, the impact has been so positive and the writing so beautiful we just had to share it with you. This section of our creative writing has been produced by the women engaged with Safe and Sound Dorset during our creative seasons.
