Storytelling Training

Storytelling training is available to persons in recovery and provider staff.

Storytelling training for persons in recovery supports the development of their own recovery story and increases their confidence in sharing their story in public venues. These stories energize and educate the listener and give energy to move the system transformation forward. For further information, contact Ellen Faynberg @ 215 685-5463.

Storytelling training for provider staff is designed to help providers gain an understanding of the power of story and to explore ways that storytelling can be used in their settings of practice. The training includes experiential and didactic components. For further information, contact Ellen Faynberg @ 215 685-5463.
