One of the greatest assets of mental health peer specialists is the ability to share our recovery stories as a way to connect with people and inspire those who may be struggling. However, sometimes it is hard for us to reconcile the negative experiences of our past with the positive role model we are today. Using the "Hero's Journey" as a framework to reflect on your recovery story can help you connect with your moments of heroism in your past and use them to help and inspire others. This webinar will help mental health peer specialists explore the "Hero's Journey" and how to tell their story in a way that presents a healing and hopeful message.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify steps to apply the "Hero's Journey" structure to recovery stories.
- Discuss the importance of becoming the hero of our own recovery journey.
- Examine the benefits of storytelling for both the teller and listeners of the story.
