Poem Stellium Wellbeing Guides – Volunteer Opportunity (London, UK)
Poem Stellium is inviting a small number of qualified mental health professionals to join our community as Poem Stellium Wellbeing Guides.
This voluntary role supports the creation of emotionally safe and reflective creative spaces rooted in poetry, expression and community wellbeing.
Poem Stellium is an online publication and creative platform dedicated to uplifting voices through creative writing, mental health awareness, astrology, and the art of self-expression. Alongside our publication, we occasionally host in-person creative spaces in London focused on poetry, reflection and community connection.
Our Wellbeing Guides help support the emotional awareness and care of these creative spaces, ensuring they remain grounded, respectful and safe for participants.
This role is supportive in nature and not a therapy role.
