Kristin Thompson

A number of years ago, I nearly succumbed to my severe mental health diagnoses symptoms. I was in desperate need of a life raft.

I was introduced to Poetry as a Tool for Wellness (PTW), and it added to my wellness plan. It was through healing poetry that I found my voice again.

In less than three years, I moved from a Poetry as a Tool for Wellness participant to an IPM-Certified Peer-Facilitator of the PTW program. Now I train new facilitators online from as far away as New Delhi, India!

Kristin has co-facilitated Poetry as a Tool for Wellness Facilitator Training with Cathey Capers and Stronger Together a new theme session for this series with Athena McClendon.
