Poetry Therapy
Writing for Well-being
Poetry therapy, sometimes called therapeutic writing or writing therapy are all intended to reflect the interactive use of literature and/ or writing to promote growth and healing.
Poems can be fantastic vehicles for change. They can offer valuable personal insights and help to increase resilience and self-confidence.
