Listen and learn as Seattle-based writer and poet Ezra Conklin discusses writing as a Self Care practice, and how it can foster expression, affirm identity and galvanize community.
With experience as a member of Youth Speaks and coordinating Youth Arts programs for Gay City, Ezra shares insights on slam poetry, the healing power of journaling, herbalism, and using writing to build community health and wellness.
Coping 101's Artist Mental Health Stories amplify voices from King County's cultural sector to empower individual artists, uplift the creative community and destigmatize mental health from a teen's perspective.
