Expressive Writing Prompts
Hey there, I am glad you are here.
My name is Danielle Festa, Executive Director of The Aplomb Project and our mission is all about creating a safe space for trauma survivors to experience the healing power of art. Download free writing prompts that you may find helpful in exploring some expressive writing ideas. You do not have to be a writer, an artist or an expert - just be you.

While The Aplomb Project presents these mindfulness exercises that can be done on your own, we also emphasize the importance of certified therapists. If you or someone you know is seeking additional support, please find a list of resources here.
