The Black Unicorn YA Journal of Passions

Not only is journalling an excellent portal into self-awareness and a regular writing practice, it is also a sound mental health practice. The Black Unicorn YA Journal of Passions is a 40 page guided journal filled with accessible prompts that are designed to strengthen a student's relationship to writing and to themselves. It is also a wonderful bonding tool for families. This tool is sparse enough for English and (creative) writing teachers to use as a blueprint for their own creative lesson planning. It is also suitable for school psychologists and counselors that desire to use expressive writing as a tool of self-awareness, communication, and channelling strong emotions in a healthy way. The prompts and exercises get to the heart of what matters to the adolescents of today: what they like and don't like, who they want to be and who they don't want to be, what angers them, how they feel about their parents, and what they value about themselves. It's also a great resource for parents and guardians that want to connect on a deeper level with their children. It's a win-win for everyone!
