Description

'Using Narrative Work with First Nations Families' provides a practice-based introduction to using narrative therapy and other creative processes with First Nations families. You will get to explore the principles, philosophies and concepts underpinning the narrative approach.

This workshop includes experiential exercises which enable you to practice these skills in a supportive environment, and to get a sense of what it might feel like from a client and family perspective.

Workshop Style:
This is an interactive workshop that explores the application of narrative therapy theory using practical and engaging activities. There are hands-on components to this day. Some basic art materials will be required; the list will be sent to registrants prior to the workshop date.

  • Understand the theory and philosophy behind narrative therapy, including narrative politics and ethics towards client and worke
  • Understand the importance of awareness of narrative politics and ethics towards client and worker
