Our Mission
Poetry Heals improves our community's mental health by providing expressive writing workshops and tools. The concepts emphasized are:
- Writing poems as affordable, portable, and accessable tools for processing trauma
- Art for the process, not the product, building skills for resilience
- Building social capital through community and connection; reducing barriers to community and individual health
- Creating safe and empowering space for healing; helping people feel seen, heard, and respected.
We will use raised funds for operating support, mentor salaries, and additional programming.
