What is a Helping Professional?
Employees and Employers.
All of us are helping professionals in the worksplace.
This course/webinar/workshop is designed to support employee wellness, through a comprehensive look, using a trauma-informed lens, at the research, the benefits and the powerful impact of journaling as a healing resource.
Every employee can benefit from focusing on journaling for Self-Care. You don’t need to work as a clinician, nurse or social worker but if you are, you have the opportunity to pass some of these tools on along with sharing your hands-on experience in Journaling to help a present or future client.
The therapeutic value of Journaling has been much talked about, we know also through scientific research that the act of writing opens new neural pathways in the brain. This powerful tool, Journaling, is literally at our fingertips, to help us maintain healthy balance, prevent secondary trauma, reduce cumulative stress and improve a more positive mental outlook.

The “Creative Journaling: Self-Care for the Helping Professional” course helped me expand my mind on the many different ways we can express our thoughts, feelings and deepest fears in a very mindful and intentional way. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and found the content to be thoughtful, intelligent and creative. I would recommend this course to anyone seeking the opportunity to make time for self-reflection, introspection and personal and professional growth.
