Converge at York St John has just published, in partnership with The Writing Tree, their new anthology of student work: Creative Writing Heals Volume 7, available now from Amazon.

Converge is a partnership between York St John University and mental health service providers, which provides courses for adults who use mental health services. Our courses help students to develop skills in a supportive educational environment.  Our Creative Writers contribute to the anthology each year as a way of celebrating their work and giving voice to their experience, creativity and imagination. 

Writers from this year's anthology say, 'Creative Writing is the catalyst through which wounds can be healed, suffering halted and life salvaged. Creative Writing cultivates wisdom. It provides clarity and breathes new life into memories. It rekindles a flickering flame. Creative Writing provides for self-expression. It empowers and fosters the imagination allowing your true and unadulterated self to emerge.'
