The Poetry in Healing group will utilize reading, listening to, and creating poetry to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. The group is designed to increase self-awareness, stimulate expression, release emotional tension, enhance empathy, and encourage mental growth. Research indicates that Poetry Therapy not only aids in decreasing symptoms of depression and anxiety but can also strengthen participants self-esteem and sense of personal power. You do not have to be a poet to join and benefit from this group, just have a willingness to participate and be open to the possibilities of poetry.
