This podcast shines a light on the connection between the creating and consumption of poetry and mental wellness. Each episode features one poet sharing one poem and a discussion about the inspiration and writing of the poem. This is followed by a conversation inspired by the poem on a topic that is discussed with a mental health professional. This is not meant to replace getting care from a mental health professional and is not meant to diagnose or treat any condition or illness. It's purpose is to normalize the importance of having these discussions, having a creative outlet and seeking your own mental and emotional support. Join in the conversation by sending your own poetry inspired by these topics to us at RNCPoetry@gmail.com for the opportunity to have your poem read on a future episode. This is a monthly podcast that airs on Thursday after the 3rd Wednesday each month at 7PM. Thanks to all supporters for making this conversation possible.
