The Perch, a literary, visual arts, and music journal, is pleased to announce publication of its journals. A project of the Yale Program for Recovery & Community Health produced under the editorship of Founder Michael Rowe, PhDThe Perch complements the program’s core focus on mental health in all its dimensions, from personal to community-based to its engagement with broad social concerns. The Perch strives to capture many aspects of mental health — physical, emotional, social, civic, political, cultural, spiritual, and more — and to expand the mental health narrative to include new and unexpected voices, ideas, and creative expressions.

The journal includes poetry, non-fiction, visual art, and music. Contributions were chosen from thousands of pieces submitted. The journal's writers and artists come from across the U.S. and abroad.
