Welcome to The Good Listening Project!

We’re offering sessions with our Listener Poets right now to staff members at the Veterans Health Administration.

It’s part of our mission to help build cultures of good listening that will support resilience and healing in healthcare systems.

From my standpoint as a physician, it really turned the tables to have someone really listen to me. It’s usually my job to listen to my patients.

I walked out feeling a small amount of joy I hadn’t felt before in my heart.
