SILENT VOICES SPEAK: 07/06/12

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.

Scars by Sharon Horton

By Sharon H.

"Your truth may not look like mine, but that is not what
   matters. What matters is this:
   You can look at a scar and see hurt, or you can look
    at a scar and see healing.
    Try to understand."
