Journaling
P.A.Y. provides journals to youth who participate in the our mentoring program, workshops, and to various organizations. We want to provide our youth with a personal outlet to convey that allows them to express their thoughts and feelings on topics that they might feel comfortable sharing with others.
Journaling promotes self awareness, helps youth recognize their strengths, weaknesses, fears, feelings (Werrell, 2017).
Journaling help youth reduce stress by allowing them figure out their problems and privately work through painful feelings (Rudlin, 2017).
Please contact us if you are interested in receiving journals or you would like to donate journals.
