We were originally known as SILENT VOICES and were affiliated with a Mental Health Organization.
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.
tears pour down as I fall to the ground, with pain, anger, loss demanding to be heard as the land stands broken and burned unresolved grief remains. by Sharon Horton
