A reading and creative writing programme designed by Safe Ground to support mixed groups of men and women suffering from low-level anxiety and mild mental health concerns, which may be debilitating and limiting their lives and relationships.
The Comfort Zone is a reading and creative writing programme designed to support mixed groups of men and women experiencing low-level anxiety and mild mental health concerns, which may debilitate and limit their lives and relationships. Initially piloted as part of a larger social prescribing piece of work spearheaded by the Healthy London Partnership, we deliver the programme to small groups online.
We invite participants to explore new ways of seeing the world, engaging with their and other’s creativity in a structured, safe, and organised way. Developing relationships with strangers, reading together, producing written work, and sharing ideas, responses, and thoughts offers support to group participants.
Sessions focus on the life cycle of a human, a group, a process, and a thought, each designed to mirror stages of shared experience.
Participants are not required to have any particular interest or experience in reading or writing.
