Summary

This study explores whether writing Chinese poems can improve the mental wellbeing and happiness of adult volunteers who serve people recovering from mental illness. Thirty participants will attend two 3-hour poem-writing sessions led by experienced teachers. Researchers will measure changes in wellbeing, happiness, and mood using surveys and interviews. This is a small feasibility study, so results will be descriptive and not tested for statistical significance.
