NASW-LA hosts a successful Therapeutic Writing for Clinicians Workshop....
In May of this year (2015), I had the pleasure of giving my clinical workshop to a group of professionals at East Baton Rouge Parish Library Main Campus. It is always fulfilling to be able to pass on to other professionals the benefits of this work by giving them the first hand experience of writing in a very accepting and welcoming format. It's designed to help us overcome our own self-censorship. It's fair to experience that freedom ourselves so we can in turn offer the experience to others. We had a variety of clinicians attend from hospice, schools, addiction treatment centers, child welfare agencies, mental health clinics, etc. And each walked away with a new tool or insight they could apply to their personal or professional lives. Many thanks to the National Association of Social Workers - Louisiana Chapter and East Baton Rouge Parish Library Main Campus for hosting!
Participant feedback:
I learned "how much I need to journal! I learned about things I needed to deal with that I didn't know existed."
"Doing the exercises helped me acknowledge feelings I needed to address. I will use this with my clients. I know it will be beneficial."
I liked best..."actually doing the techniques - one should never recommend a tool they haven't tested."
"I gained personal insight and I am motivated from my own feedback to take some specific actions."
".....I can combine my love of writing with my social work."
