Introductions
Before joining our community we request that your first post is an introduction. Once your post has been approved you will be able to access the rest of our forum. Your introduction does not have to be a life story but we do ask you write as much as you feel comfortable posting. For ideas about your first post take a look at this post.
This section allows us to welcome new members, provide a starting point for the community and make sure any 'undesirables' are kept away from the boards.

We look forward to welcoming you.

Art Project
Sharing your feelings through creative means, through art and writing, can make your story more approachable and give it emotional impact. You can choose painting, drawing, poetry, story telling, collage, or even the creation of a comic. You don’t have to be ‘an artist’ to create a picture that can communicate your story with power. This section isn’t designed for artists, but people who want to express themselves visually whether or not they have any artistic experience. Use the packs within this forum to guide your inner artist. ArtyJaneH, our resident artist will help guide you.
