“What is most personal is most universal.”

-Carl Rogers

 

Writing your story can help you make sense of your experience, connect with your resilience, and find hope and peace. Sharing your story in public (optional) can inspire others, shift opinions, and create positive change. If you have been thinking of sharing your story with others, please join us for the “Tell Your Story” workshop. We offer a non-judgmental and encouraging atmosphere where you can work on your story at your own pace - in written format or by sharing with others in the workshop.

​

Each week covers a specific topic and allows time for participants to share stories they have prepared, if desired.  At the beginning of the program, "Honouring My Story" explores the motivation behind sharing your story which helps you develop the main message to be told and decide on your preferred audience.  "Developing My Story" covers the opening, body and closing of your story and allows you to start putting your descriptions down on paper.  "Refining My Story" examines language, assumptions and stigma which connects with the hearts and minds of your listeners.  Multiple practice sessions will be held as your story evolves and feedback will be offered, if desired, to provide encouragement and hopefully quite a few special moments with laughs along the way.

 

Join us to write your unique story with the hope of furthering your mental health recovery journey and through sharing with others, help them along the path to wellness too!
