RECORDED WEBINAR SUMMARY

NARRATIVE STORYTELLING: FACILITATING POSITIVE IDENTITY GROWTH

2) Storytelling as a humanising relational experience; and

Approaches to narrative storytelling will be explored, including practical strategies to embed storytelling into clinical practice. Accessibility of storytelling with people with cognitive and communication challenges will also be outlined.
