The National Association for Poetry Therapy Presents

2026 Research Symposium

The first-ever International Research Symposium for Biblio-Poetry Therapy is coming to an inbox near you on December 4th, 2026. This will feature voices from across the world sharing their insights on BiblioPoetryTherapy and its use in Creating a World Community. Together with representatives from European associations of poetry therapy, we'll be working together to come together and unite as one and show the world what a true community can look like. 

FREE - We will be hosting this event free and live for all individuals. Recordings available for a limited time and a Certificate of Attendance may be purchased for a fee.  All participants must register to receive the zoom link.

Presenters - WE ARE LOOKING FOR PRESENTERS: To be considered, submit resume/CV, abstract of about four hundred words. Our theme is building a world community, and will focus on how bibliotherapy is used to bridge cultural gaps, highlight and affirm minority voices and cross cultures locally and internationally to create healing. We ask that submissions stay closely tied to this theme. SUBMIT HERE: https://forms.gle/pngDh5pXXC9tRmPe6
