Created specifically for adult adoptees, “Voices Unheard” is a journal designed to guide individuals similarly to working with a therapist. Writing in the journal provides individuals to explore their feelings and work toward deeper healing. With 52 weeks of writing prompts, “Voices Unheard” is driven by themes and includes additional resources, including a glossary, and guidelines. The journal also includes a script support groups moderators can use to guide conversations. Written by an adoptee and licensed mental health care provider, “Voices Unheard“ is designed with the enduser in mind.
