Quieting the Silence: The Power of Storytelling in Faith Based Spaces
Description
Storytelling is a powerful tool. It allows the storyteller to better understand themselves, the listeners to learn from others’ lived experience, and reduces stigma. Faith communities provide unique cultural protective factors that can aid in facilitating these conversations grounded in common practice and cultural understanding. Explore ways to lean on faith-based cultural protective factors in order to bring together communities and “Quiet the Silence” around mental illness and addiction.
