A selection of recent projects across complex health and social challenges. Each one is different — but all involve working closely with people and organisations to make sense of what's really going on.
The Storytelling Toolkit
Developed with Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board and Wrexham University, as part of the 100 Stories project, this toolkit puts young people's lived experience at the heart of decision-making. It guides practitioners through using storytelling safely and inclusively with trauma awareness, from first conversation to final evaluation.
