PoetryPersonalPower

Because every poet needs a professional sponsor - let us be yours! We teach poets how to spread our messages along with their art projects to earn crucial sponsorship funding. Along the way, artists learn their own grant writing, event documentation, and marketing skills. We share honest mental health information that emotional distress is temporary and transformative. Our key messages are 1) everyone goes through adversity, and 2) the best way through is to talk to someone who's been through it before, and 3) to find what gives you personal power. Poetry for Personal Power is a program of the Heartland Consumer Network and funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration.
