Cabin John/Arlington (Grand Hyatt Washington)
Storytelling has the power to build empathy, connect people, and share the experiences of our consumers and our organizations. It can also help us better use our personal experiences to influence policy change and move the larger discussion of homelessness from one focused on individual failures to one focused on finding solutions to broken systems. This workshop will share the Storytelling Guide from the National Consumer Advisory Board and discuss how to effectively share our stories in order to be effective advocates.
