At New Directions, our mission is to cultivate a vibrant and collaborative community of writers dedicated to enhancing their writing skills. While we embrace a psychoanalytic perspective in our writing, our groups are not intended as therapy or process groups and may not be treated as such. We are committed to supporting all learners and fostering a welcoming, inclusive environment.
As the culture within our groups impacts the experiences of our community members, students and faculty must uphold a culture of integrity, compassion, and respect. It is essential that differing viewpoints or ideas are presented in a way that is constructive and exemplifies respect, kindness, and curiosity.
We aim to create and maintain a safe and positive atmosphere for all as we pursue our mission. Harassment of any kind is not tolerated within the New Directions community.
