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.

SENSITIVITY by Elizabeth Hipwell


Sensitivity is my connection
To my soul and my humanity.
It enables me to be aware of
What is true, 
To empathize
And be considerate…
Sensitivity opens creative
Doorways and helps me
Explore  the hidden and 
Unknown…
Combined with self-awareness 
And an expanded inclusion of all
My sensitivity allows me to
Experience life more fully
And awake…
