Wellness & Writing Connections Information

Wellness & Writing Connections is the labor of love for Dr. John F. Evans. Over the last thirty years, John has maintained his conviction that writing is good for those who write. It is well-documented in the literature of several fields that wellness and writing can be connected in ways useful for emotional, physical, and spiritual health. Much of this work was pioneered and sustained by James Pennebaker and many others who work in counseling, healthcare, and education. Several years ago his passion for writing and healing convinced him to establish a conference to provide a resource for those like-minded people who write and for those working in the healthcare and counseling professions who wish to include writing as part of their practice. There were struggles and successes. And now we have an amazing "family" of people who continue to find ways to enhance their own wellness and then wellness of others
