Journaling Project for Military Spouses |

The Cobb Collaborative sees beautiful in our work because it is a reflection of our community – diverse and accepting of the people who live, work, play and pray in Cobb County. Our organization accomplishes the critical work of improving outcomes for children and families by educating and engaging partners, leading and facilitating collaborations, and providing capacity-building resources for organizations solving major issues in our community like reading proficiency, homelessness, mental health issues and civic engagement. Our partners include nonprofit organizations, local government, businesses, faith-based organizations, educational institutions, professional organizations, associations and citizens who are committed to working together in service to others. |

We are so grateful to the See Beautiful Foundation for funding our journal project. This project will allow individuals to learn more about themselves, reflect on different experiences and their reactions to those situations, then use personal expression to record their feelings.
Journaling has been found to enhance both mental and physical well-being, and along with a healthy diet, plenty of exercise, lots of water and adequate sleep can lead to great improvement in the quality of one’s life. Keeping a journal can help identify what’s causing stress or anxiety and facilitate the steps taken to resolve the problem. Personal growth and reduced stress contribute to a more whole and happy society - what could be more beautiful than that?
