Impact
& Outcomes
Jackie Herd, RN, explains the value of our Listener Poets’ work.
By integrating our healing arts programs into healthcare settings, we help counteract burnout and ease the emotional burden of healthcare workers.
This, in turn, leads to higher quality care for patients and their families.
Reflections
from Participants:
Mary Beth Botts, LCSW, talks about her session with a Listener Poet.
Matt Brown, RN, recalls the impact of his Listener Poet session.
“I thought it was very valuable to have a space that gave me the chance to think and talk about something that really mattered to me.
I ended up talking about something that has been on my mind for months. Something I haven’t been able to verbalize, or haven’t allowed myself to give words to before.”
“I found it to be an unexpected bright spot in my day.
Poetry captures a moment, and if you are in a medical setting and worry tempts you to project into the future, staying in the moment is helpful.”
