Verbal: Where Research Meets Storytelling

At Verbal, our commitment to excellence is deeply rooted in evidence-based research. Every project we offer is carefully co-designed, drawing from the latest findings in the fields of psychology, literature and co-production.

Our Expert Research Team:

Comprising specialists in both psychology and literature, our dedicated team ensures that each project is not only informed by the latest research but also tailored to resonate with our participants.

The Impact of our work:

Our in-house research consistently underscores the transformative effects of our initiatives. This aligns with global studies highlighting the profound benefits of literature, especially shared reading. Such activities have been shown to foster empathy, bolster mental well-being, diminish feelings of isolation, strengthen community ties, and provide avenues for emotional expression. Explore the impact here.

Advancing the Field:

Verbal's projects both contribute to and draw from pioneering research on the comprehensive advantages of arts-based interventions. We're constantly evolving, ensuring our work remains at the forefront of the field, adapting based on our findings and global advancements. Discover our research contributions here.
