Dear ,

I will be submitting a proposal surrounding my work with African American teen survivors of who experienced domestic violence. I began this group as part of my internship process and met with some participants through individual counseling. Although the group was not formed specifically for domestic violence, this theme was prevalent amongst the participants. I also interned at a women's shelter through Palladia, Inc and worked with women of which some were domestic violence survivors. My teen group still meets, however, not as consistently since my girls are now enrolled in college or working (awesome!).

I hope my proposal would be of interest to you for your project.

Have a blessed day,

Barbara Bethea, MA Registered Poetry Therapist

Hello Barbara - I cannot seem to find poetry therapists for my works so your proposal will be greatly welcomed. I look forward to receiving your work :-)

Thank you. I need to ask for your help in this process, would you be able to supply me with a sample proposal for acceptance. I am also writing a chapter for another author about my own survival story and she supplied me with an example of what was acceptable. I hope this is not an outlandish request.

I look forward to working with you on this project.

Have a blessed day,

Barbara Bethea, MA RPT
