Details

“Write Away the Pain” is an interactive workshop designed to help college students confront and process personal trauma through the transformative power of spoken word poetry. College can be a time of immense pressure, and unresolved trauma often becomes a barrier to academic success and personal growth, sometimes leading students to withdraw or drop out. This workshop creates a safe and supportive space for students to explore their emotions, share their experiences, and begin the healing process.
