Author Description

The Perch, a literary, visual arts, and music journal, is pleased to announce publication of its fifth issue. A project of the Yale Program for Recovery & Community Health produced under the editorship of co-director Michael Rowe, PhD, The 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.
