Hear from our President, Dr. Sana Syed. We are thrilled to have her join POETIC and excited for what lies ahead! “POETIC is working to “come in with a bulldozer” to attack the main issues surrounding mental health—access, affordability, and negative stigma. The organization serves the entire family, Syed added. “I challenge our community to really care about mental health, because it is a big issue, and Dallas, being urban core, is going to face it more than any other city in North Texas” she said. “We’re doing the work, and I hope that more people support us moving forward.”” Thank you DCEO for sharing our story! #UntilEveryGirlisEquallyValued #POETICDallas #POETICDifference #YouthMentalHealth #PoeticPersists HaeSung Han Richard Munoz Sarita Prabhu Lauren Hall Haskins Dawn McKenzie Jennifer Tinker Soyong Jensen Chelsea Robertson Asia Rodgers https://lnkd.in/ecVxp_4U

Ending the cycle of re-victimization for girls who have experienced commercial sexual exploitation and sex trafficking
About us
Through evidence-based therapeutic interventions, art therapy and court advocacy, POETIC equips youth who have experienced sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation to find their voices, reclaim their narratives and persist forward. By addressing the systems that perpetuate victimization, POETIC is igniting a movement to reject the notion that youth can be bought and sold. At POETIC, youth are not defined by their circumstances and experiences. Instead, they are empowered to become the authors of their lives. The POETIC Trauma Therapy Center and Creative Arts Studio serves the Dallas community at no cost to youth and families.

Thank you, Robert Kent, for joining us! We appreciate your support!
Wonderful conversation tonight with POETIC and Dallas Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation about breaking the cycle of re-victimization for youth in the juvenile justice system and changing the narrative of the history of #Dallas. I’m grateful for the work these two organizations are leading in our community. Both these organizations are raising funds on #NorthTexasGivingDay too! cc: Communities Foundation of Texas
