The Power of Collaborative Storytelling in Personal Well-Being

The speakers in today’s forum engage with two main questions: What stories are you telling yourself? And how can you learn to tell better ones?

You’ll hear today from practicing psychiatrist Curt Thompson and Health Behavior and Health Education professor Victor Strecher (UMichigan). Curt and Vic discuss what it looks like to tell better stories, the role community plays in storytelling, and what difference the Christian story can make in our lives.

This forum was held at the University of Michigan in January of 2024 and was moderated by graduate student Annika From. Thank you to the Forum planning team at the University of Michigan for making this event possible.
