Introduction to Storycare Workshop

Mazovia Institute of Culture (12 Elektoralna Street)

Storycare, is an approach to integrating storytelling into healthcare settings. This workshop will teach participants ways to adapt storytelling, storylistening, and storykeeping to their work in hospitals, longterm care communities, and programs serving fragile populations. I developed “Storycare” in collaboration with social worker Melissa Tafler, head of Arts and Health at Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care, in Toronto. It has been used with psychiatry patients, as well as in palliative care and Alzheimer’s programs. For further information, please visit http://www.storycare.ca.
