The Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health put out a call for poets of all ages to submit original works addressing mental health and wellbeing as experienced by the writer, someone they know or any related topic. In partnership with Get Lit Words Ignite, entries were judged on poetic merit including evaluations of the poem\u2019s message, art and craft.<\/p>\n

Five poems from each age category (youth up to 14; young adults 15-24; adults over 25) were chosen and recognized at a reception during We Rise in the DTLA Arts District. Some authors read their own poems while others chose to have their winning entries read aloud by a poet from Get Lit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
