Who We Are

Poetry Heals provides therapeutic writing classes to teen trauma survivors and others who are incarcerated, homeless, institutionalized, in recovery, or recently released.

We partner with many community non-profits in the Pikes Peak Region, serving people in need throughout Colorado’s Front Range.
