Artists & Advocates

Arthropy (formerly Poetry for Personal Power) has a powerful cadre of artists and advocates who deliver resilience messaging at any place imaginable!

Our sponsored artists/advocates range in talents and demographics but all have one thing in common: they believe in helping the community. Yes, they actually DO the work they speak about!

They have presented our special message of recovery in prisons, schools, parks, bars, churches, mental health facilities, etc. They deliver these messages with their own stories, art, and life experiences in conjunction with the evidence-based advocate training received from Arthropy.

Resilience messaging events are related to substance use treatment, mental health recovery, advocacy, community engagement, research, and social determinant building and can be presented in many different forms (workshops, open mics, poetry slams, shows, interactive arts, lectures, etc.).

• career development for sponsored artists/advocates,
• award-winning healthcare messaging,
• and a peer support program modeled after New York’s Peer Bridgers.

Over the years, Arthropy has expanded its network to Missouri, Colorado, and Illinois, working with various community groups to adapt to changes in mental health care delivery.

Arthropy’s initiatives build resiliency, reduce behavioral health stigma, and increase community capacity to prevent mental health crises, helping treatment organizations deliver person-centered services with the consumer voice integral to their workforce.
