Stories of Hope Part 2: The Art of Narrative Stewardship

For behavioral health organizations, stories have the power to shape organizational culture, strengthen team morale and communicate impact in meaningful ways. Building on the foundation of the Stories of Hope: A Values-centered Approach to Storytelling course, Stories of Hope Part 2: The Art of Narrative Stewardship takes storytelling to the next level, focusing on how organizations can intentionally use stories to align mission, deepen trust and drive connection across teams and communities.

Designed in partnership with Joseph Green of LMS Voice, this course introduces a value-centered storytelling framework tailored for behavioral health leaders and organizations.

Join us to unlock your organization’s storytelling potential and dive into the art of narrative stewardship.

In this webinar, you will:

• Learn what narrative stewardship means and why a value-centered approach to storytelling matters for behavioral health organizations and the communities they serve.
• Walk away with a practical framework for ethical storytelling, including how to source and share stories in ways that honor the dignity and consent of the people behind them.
• See real-world examples of ethically sourced stories and hear from industry peers in a facilitated discussion, surfacing approaches you can bring back to your own organization.

Want to go deeper? Stories of Hope Part 2: The Art of Narrative Stewardship is also launching as a full online course this summer, giving you hands-on tools and templates to put narrative stewardship into practice at your own organization.
