Abstract

It is important for the expression and mentality of the visually impaired to be given space to develop according to their talents and interests. The limitations of the visually impaired in expressing emotions and mental conditions are due to minimal access to communication and expression media. This condition can affect the psychological well-being of the visually impaired including self-confidence and the ability to interact effectively with the social environment. Poetry therapy, as a form of art literacy, has the potential to be an effective medium to help improve the mental expression of the visually impaired. This community service program aims to provide space for the visually impaired to channel emotions, explore creative potential, and improve mental well-being through poetry. Poetry therapy activities were carried out at the PPSDN (Social Service Center for the Visually Disabled) Pendowo, Kudus Regency, involving 14 visually impaired. The methods used included training sessions for writing and reading poetry, group therapy, and reading poetry in an open forum. Program evaluation was carried out through observation, interviews, and analysis of the poetry works of the visually impaired. The results of the activities showed a significant increase in the ability of the visually impaired to express feelings verbally and non-verbally. In addition, Netra's sensory disabilities also show developments in aspects of self-confidence, creative thinking skills, and social involvement.
