Mental Health Bloggers – Volunteer Opportunity
(Currently Closed to New Applications)

At Poem Stellium, we deeply value mental health awareness and authentic expression.
Each year, we organise creative writing competitions to help combat stigma and provide safe, soulful spaces for people to share their experiences. Through storytelling, we aim to make mental health more visible and more human.
While we are not currently recruiting new mental health bloggers, we are always open to hearing from passionate individuals who would like to be considered in future. If you’d love to be part of our mental health blogging team when opportunities reopen, we warmly invite you to register your interest below.

- Employment and bipolar disorder or depression
- Addiction recovery
- Anxiety

- Bipolar disorder from a youth or adult perspective
- Parenting a child with a mental illness

- Complex or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
