narrative medicine collabLAB
Become a member of the collabLAB community.
What?
The narrative medicine collabLAB is a monthly practice space for facilitators who have completed NWNMC Narrative Medicine Facilitator Training.
We are a community that continues to develop our skills together. We do this by discussing ideas, presenting our workshop curricula for discussion, feedback, and practice. We celebrate successes, and troubleshoot roadblocks together.
In this space, you will learn about planning and leading narrative medicine activities from being in a variety of roles. Sometimes you will lead, knowing there is expertise in the group to give you feedback. Sometimes you will observe a facilitator from the participant perspective. Sometimes we brainstorm, sometimes we problem solve, sometimes we practice. Always, we collaborate with others who have a passion for this work.
