WHY DO THIS?

Stories are the way we make sense of the things that happen to us. They’re also a powerful tool you can use to understand your life more deeply and even see the events of your life in a new way.

RELEVANCE TO THE WHOLE FAMILY APPROACH?

A family's story is richer and more nuanced than their immediate crisis or hardship. Reflecting on their story provides a clearer understanding of the present and future.
