Thoughtful prompts and poetry to inspire reflection and creative expression.
A sense of connection, validation, and emotional support in a judgment-free setting.
About this Program
This program supports informal caregivers — those who provide care for loved ones by assisting with activities of daily living and/or medical tasks without formal training or support systems — through the restorative power of listening, poetry, and community.
This includes:
one-on-one Listener Poet sessions,
monthly “Poetry Corner for Caregivers” gatherings,
and publishing a Caregiver Chronicles anthology to humanize experiences and amplify stories.
Program Goals
Empower and support caregivers by providing ongoing, no-cost access to one-on-one Listener Poet sessions: Caregivers will have access to one-on-one listener poet sessions at no cost to them, providing a nonjudgmental space for sharing their stories and experiences. Listener Poets then transform their stories into custom poems, with the intention to help caregivers feel seen, supported, and valued.
Build community among caregivers through monthly poetry and connection gatherings: Our “Poetry Corner for Caregivers” will serve as a regular gathering space where caregivers can share their poems with one another, engage in creative writing, and build relationships in a supportive community.
Humanize caregiver experiences by publishing a Caregiver Chronicles Poetry Anthology: This collection will raise awareness of caregiver needs by humanizing their stories and sharing them in a custom poetry anthology, highlighting their diverse lived experiences and resilience. This anthology will be distributed to advocacy organizations and caregivers in hospitals or other settings.
