Join us this month to learn about the power of narrative therapy with Chelsea Size. Frank Ostaseski (founding director of Zen Hospice Project) said: ‘As hospice workers, one of our central tasks is to be available when stories are ready to be told’.
Narrative therapy empowers individuals to reshape their life stories, emphasising strengths & values to overcome challenges. By externalising problems into story, older people can view their issues separately from their identities, which helps to facilitate constructive change.

Our monthly Community of Practice 1-hour workshops offer member organisations a quality professional peer-to-peer development event. Each workshop combines the sharing of best practices, new approaches and innovations by a guest presenter and the opportunity for Q&A and small group discussions.

Can’t join us on the day? Not a problem: everyone who registers receives a copy of the replay.
