Prose & “Cons”

THe Power of Words And Expression

“Poetry still manages to motivate people to interpret the world the way they experience it. Everyday poets utilize the unique expression of poetry to confront serious issues in their lives, such as low self-esteem, depression, and loss. It’s extremely important to teach young people to express themselves in positive ways because some youth may not feel comfortable openly talking about their problems. They may process their experiences differently and may need more time—and the proper environment—to fully comprehend what’s going on inside their heads.”Utilizing Poetry to Impact The Lives of Teenagers

Effective Communication

Research has highlighted the advantages of engaging in poetry, particularly in its role in reducing stress and alleviating symptoms of depression and trauma among adolescents. This program is specifically tailored to benefit youth in challenging circumstances, such as those in juvenile centers and group homes. Our goal is to offer them a new perspective and a more positive outlook, even in their current environment.

Two Working As One

These one to two-day camps center around poetry and its beneficial impact as a form of expression. The curriculum also integrates Social Emotional Learning (SEL) strategies, breathwork, yoga, journaling, and coping mechanisms. We provide youth with a creative outlet for expression. This program is in partnership with The Arts Advocate.
