For those who have experienced trauma, there are many benefits writing about the thoughts and feelings surrounding those events. For people currently experiencing intimate partner violence, journaling about events at home can help create a record of what has been happening which can later be used to help support claims of abuse. The October 2022 Technical Assistance Question of the Month (TAQ) outlines some of the benefits of journaling for healing.
