Poetry as an antidote to the inflammation of the soul
Poetry Expo 24
Poetry has long been recognized as a powerful tool for self-expression, and in recent years, it has emerged as a valuable therapeutic medium for discussing mental health. Poetry's unique ability to capture emotions, convey experiences, and foster empathy makes it an effective means of exploring the complexities of mental health challenges. We would like to present the validity of the creation of our several collective publications, which contributed to therapeutic benefits of poetry for mental health. Our foundation has developed a presentation that aims to increase awareness of how literature (with an emphasis on poetry) can have a healing effect on mental health.
The project is part of the subthemes Mental health narratives in poetry.
