Conversation Cafe - A Narrative Social Work Program

Conversation Café— A Narrative Social Work Program

Participating social workers will experience a session from the Conversation Café (a program that has been running for 7 years and with positive consumer reported outcomes within a recovery model of care), where poetry and creative writing are used to assist people with mental health concerns/illness to express their mental and emotional wellbeing.

The workshop will be interactive & dynamic with exchange of narrative from poetry, photos & narrative conversation.

The aim of the workshop is to provide social workers from varied contexts with a structured & flexible group work model of therapeutic social work practice.

Facilitator: Kris Burriel, Senior Social Worker, ISLHD
