A Write to Heal

The healing process for most women of domestic violence is a difficult and painful one. It’s often hard to articulate the mixed feelings that remain as a result of the traumatic experience of domestic abuse. Our emotions are often bottled up inside us and become part of a heavy, unhappiness within us. Sometimes it is too painful or embarrassing to speak about the abuse. This troubled silence often leads to feelings of depression and alienation. A Write to Heal, Inc. is a not-for-profit program for women of domestic violence created to offer them an alternate way towards healing.
