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.

Loss

Loss
it tosses everything upside down
surrounded by pain
the tears pour down
no joy
no peace
no comfort....
can be founf.
My thoughts spin around
and around, as I try
to grab hold...
to plant mt feet 
on the ground.
But I spin
am tossed about
out of control...
there is no safety
there is no 'okay'
The rain of sadness and fear
covers all
And I Fall....
Fall.....deep
into 
the silent crash of loss.
