Let’s talk health. What’s your story?
Join us to explore ways of talking a bout your health in a safe and creative environment!
Shar ing something personal with others can be stressful, especially when you don’t know how others might react. This uncertainty can make us avoid making meaningful connections in daily conversations. Talking about your health is no different, and can be easily misunderstood or stigmatised. Many of us will encounter these situations in our lives , which is why it is so important to learn and talk about them.
During the workshop, we will use storytelling techniques to ge t familiar with these scenarios and explore how we can comfortably na vigate these interactions. You will have an opportunity to connect wi th other students, both in what we all have in common with our experi ences and what we do not.
Are you a student with a disabi lity, chronic illness, mental health struggles, or a personal medical experience? Or are you someone who wants to learn how to attentively listen and respond to peers sharing with you? Whatever your story is - everyone is welcome.
Disclaimer: This workshop is inte nded to be interactive but we do not expect anyone to disclose anythi ng they don’t want to. Instead, our team will work together to expl ore interactions in a comfortable and non-structured environment so w e can all take something away from the experience. You own the story you tell.
