About everywoman's journal
everywoman's journal is an education program to teach women how to use journaling to increase the awareness of their mental, physical, and emotional health. Women are taught proactive journaling techniques and receive information about local healthcare providers and services. Journaling guides women to take positive, effective action improving their health and sense of personal well-being by becoming more in-tune with their body's physical messages. Journaling is commonly used in chronic pain management, recovery programs and adult learning, but journaling can also be used as a prevention tool. Proactive health journaling helps women translate personal reflection and feedback into actions that increase wellbeing by becoming in tune with physical messages our body give us and by using self-care techniques. In a free, 2-hour workshop lead by a trained volunteer facilitator, participants are taught pro-active journal writing techniques, and receive a folder with information about mental health conditions, prevention and resources, as well as information about local healthcare providers and services. WWHF trains and provides materials for volunteer facilitators to present everywoman’s journal workshops in communities throughout Wisconsin. |
