Skill Building Workshops

Effective communication is critical to providing sound rationale when working with state advisory boards, consultants, legislators, and grassroots initiatives. Stories bring a human face to issues and engage the audience in a way that written narrative cannot do. Strategic sharing is a framework of storytelling that supports the storyteller and ensures safe and impactful communication. Join us for this collaborative workshop that will share the framework of strategic sharing and resources for implementing the narrative for justification in the daily work of supporting voices of lived experience and better funding for state systems and services. Participants will learn how to craft and deliver strategic narratives that highlight their program’s successes, demonstrate its value, and persuade key stakeholders, including policymakers and funders, of the need for continued or increased support.
