Reflecting on my 1st @powes.bsky.social conference this week. I presented a project close to my heart on creative arts-based groups for women affected by abuse. Thoughtful questions, generous feedback, and space for real conversations. Plenty to take forward in the write up of Study2! #POWES2025
Busy last couple days but had the best time at #powes2025 💜💛 Can’t believe this is the only photo I have (and it’s not even mine…)
I enjoyed my day at #POWES2025 yesterday and the chance to showcase a few of our books! Hope everyone there has a great second and final day of the conference, and feel free to get in touch to discuss a book idea or to learn more about publishing with us 🌈

McKinlay presents a review of 20 studies of creative arts based groups, primarily community-based and in the minority world. #POWES2025
"The solidarity of a group provides the strongest protection against terror and despair, the strongest antidote to traumatic experience. Trauma isolates: the group re-creates a sense of belonging... Trauma dehumanises...the group restores her humanity'. Judith Herman, p. 214
McKinlay quotes Judith Herman on the healing power of group solidarity as as an antidote to traumatic experience. Groups create a sense of belonging and restore humanity. #POWES2025
