Veterans Relaxation Through Journaling and Creative Writing

  According to Warrior Allegiance, veterans, transitioning from military service to civilian life is a journey filled with complex emotions and challenges. While these experiences can be difficult to navigate, storytelling offers a powerful outlet for veterans to express themselves, reflect on their journeys, and connect with others. This journaling class allows veterans to share their stories through writing exercises, prompts, and short mindfulness meditations to promote reflection. Whether veterans are journaling about moments of courage, loss, or personal growth, in doing so, they can find healing and purpose.
