I have always believed that everyone wants to be seen, heard and understood. The Poetry LAB is rooted in group work, which is everything to do with creating a creative, safe space and vehicle through which clients - and in this case young people - can be seen, heard and understood and have a safe place to express their understanding of themselves.
Imagine a world where every young person feels seen, heard, and understood. That's the dream Mary Tinucci is making a reality through The Poetry LAB. In this episode of 'A Quest for Well-Being', host Valeria Teles chats with Mary, a clinical social worker and author of 'The Poetry LAB: A Curriculum Guide for Facilitators'. Mary's passion lies in harnessing the power of poetry to create safe spaces for young people to share their stories and express their emotions.
The Poetry LAB is more than just a program; it's a lifeline for marginalized youth in St. Paul, Minnesota, providing them with a platform to explore their creativity and find their voice. During their conversation, Mary shares her insights on the importance of group work, the therapeutic benefits of creative expression, and the critical role of social workers in promoting mental health. She also touches on how the pandemic has amplified the need for such initiatives.
This episode is a heartfelt exploration of how poetry can heal and foster growth, offering valuable takeaways for anyone interested in supporting young people through creative outlets.
