CREATIVE WRITING GROUPS FOR MENTAL HEALTH, ADDICTION AND TRUAMA TREATMENT CENTERS
If you are unsure what the mental health Creative-Writing group is, it is a weekly creative-writing group that can be added to the treatment schedule (like art therapy and yoga).
The writing group helps the clients practice being present, connecting, and exploring themselves using journaling, metaphorical writing, imagination prompts, and magical realism writing amongst others. It is always one of the client's favorite groups.
An example of writing exercises:
"You are going to be cloned. Write an instruction sheet for your clone on How to be you."
"Write a poem using in it the words "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow"."
"Invent a potion for your own healing".
And many more...
The group's curriculum materials are built for at least 4 months or less with the same group of clients.
If you are interested in hearing more about the group, email me: [email protected] or call: 323-397-1736 for a short presentation, testimonials, references and more information.

"Maia Akiva’s Self-Discovery Creative Writing Groups at Reconnect Integrative Trauma Treatment Center are immensely helpful groups for our clients. They help the clients start practicing writing as part of their healing journey and self-work. Maia’s journaling prompts give the clients space to bring deep awareness to themselves by writing down their thoughts and feelings. Maia’s metaphorical writing prompts allow our clients to approach their lives and what they are going through in a non-direct way that feels safer and more accessible." ~Shilloy Sanchez, Clinical Director Reconnect Integrative Trauma Treatment Center |
