Taking pen to paper has great therapeutic benefits! It helps reduce stress, boosts mood, and keeps your memory sharp. Below you will find a list of journal prompts to help you get started. You can write as little as you like or as much as you like. What you write is yours! You can keep it, discard it, or share it with your parents.
