MISSION STATEMENT

SILENT VOICES SPEAK started out as Silent Voices: A Writer’s Workshop, as the first group at the drop-in center at the Broadway location of Community Counseling Centers of Chicago, whose purpose is to empower it’s attendees to form and attend their own groups.

We have branched out as an independent entity. We are silent no more. We say yes to the creative possibilities of life & art...

The mission of SILENT VOICES SPEAK is to give a voice to people who are disenfranchised. Many of the participants in SILENT VOICES SPEAK are also visual and/or performing artists.

Membership is open to all.

Fear by Sharon Horton

                                                                   Inside my head
                                                                   I scream " I'm Scared!!"
                                                                   I  say- "I need your help"
                                                                   I whisper " please
                                                                                don't leave....
                                                                   Inside ...I scream, yell,
                                                                        cry...hiding it all...
                                                                  So Afraid that if I let out
                                                                     how I feel...
                                                                  My biggest fear will
                                                                        Come True.....
                                                                 that I will
                                                                            in the end...
                                                                     Be Alone.
