Regional Representatives

Regional Representatives help NAPT by disseminating information on the richly varied field of poetry/bibliotherapy. Representatives network with individuals, organizations and/or institutions that are engaged in the areas of education, mental health, health care, creative arts expression, spiritual development, and/or social justice advocacy. Regional reps may also host gatherings or workshops to foster a sense of connection and community using poetry therapy.

Please contact a representative in your area, if you have questions and/or wish to get more involved or connected within your community.  We welcome your involvement and participation!

If you are interested in getting in contact with your regional representative, please contact us at naptadmin@poetrytherapy.org

If you do not see your state and wish to be a representative, please contact us at naptadmin@poetrytherapy.org
