Working with people who are facing Despair, Feelings of Unworthiness, and/or Suicidal Thoughts can sometimes invite worry and panic for therapists, peer workers, and other helping professionals, and can, at times, take us away from our preferred ways of being with people who are facing these difficult problems. This workshop focuses on how we can use Narrative Therapy practices and principles to stay connected to what we care about and bring social justice into our work with people who are facing Despair, Feelings of Unworthiness, and/or Suicidal Thoughts.

This course invites participants to reflect on their own lives through narrative writing practices that uncover responses, values, and possibilities often overlooked in dominant stories. Together, we will explore prompts and exercises that support disrupting limiting narratives, thickening preferred ones, and connecting these practices to our work with clients. This interactive and supportive course offers opportunities for both personal discovery and professional growth, culminating in a collaborative session of sharing and witnessing each other’s writing.
