expression of lived experience, with resultant insight, growth and
skill-building. For decades, it has been the province of journals,
memoirs, poets, and language arts classrooms. Social science research

healing. In this remarkable collection, eight leading experts from
education, counseling, and community service join to offer compelling
guidance from applied practice. You’ll discover: How writing poetry
helps primary school children develop emotional intelligence A model
for helping teens at risk write safely about their deepest hurts How

writing into insightful problem-solving Easy strategies to write
family stories Innovative ways to bring literature into the classroom
