Cathey Capers, PPM

Since her early experience as a Peace Corps Volunteer, Cathey has been drawn to opportunities to empower others with skills and resources that are sorely needed in communities.

She was delighted when members of Austin Clubhouse (a non-profit, member-based organization made up of people living with mental health challenges) stepped up to become Peer Facilitators of Poetry as a Tool for Wellness.

Cathey says, "It’s an honor to work beside them and realize our vision of expanding this program so that more people have access to the healing power of poetry."
