Training Public Health Trainers in Digital Storytelling

In collaboration with the Center for Native Digital Storytelling, Creative Narrations trained the staff from the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium to create, teach and promote digital storytelling in their communities in the spring of 2008. After creating their own story, former participants had opportunities to work as Creative Narrations co-facilitators and coaches during a "Train-the-Trainer" series of workshops in the fall and winter of 2009. They have since gone on to facilitate over ten trainings on their own throughout Alaska. The stories created by ANTHC are being used in community meetings and workshops to promote healthy lifestyles throughout Alaska and to raise awareness of the real public health issues facing Native families in this region.  Check out an example of their work here.
