Mental Health

Mental health remains a core part of Poem Stellium.

Through our My Mind Project, we provide an ongoing space for writers to explore, express, and reflect on mental health throughout the year — without limitation to a specific campaign or timeframe.

This page brings together work centred on mental health, offering a space for reflection, expression, and shared experience through poetry.

Our intention is to challenge stigma, encourage honest expression, and create space for conversations that are often left unspoken.

These themes stem from personal experience, connection to others, and a deeper desire to understand and support mental wellbeing through writing.
