From Silence to Story: A Trauma Informed Digital Storytelling Workshop.
About this Event

Our EVERY EMOTION IS VALID Workshops funded by National Lottery Community Fund is all about Storytelling, Creativity and Healing.
Last October, we continued to open the door to storytelling and open, honest conversations via the theme; "Break The Stigma: Threads of Truth Your Story Matters", reminding every voice that it deserves to be heard.

This April, we continue with our April 2026, Emotional Wellbeing workshop themed, "From Silence to Story: A Trauma Informed Digital Storytelling Workshop". This is a natural extension of our October 2025 experience. It moves beyond conversation into creation, offering a safe and supportive space where participants can begin to explore, shape and share their stories digitally.

Building on the foundation of awareness, this workshop guides participants to gently move from silence to expression, and from expression to empowerment. Through visuals, voice and simple video formats, participants will learn how to translate their lived experiences into meaningful digital stories.

This is beyond telling stories, it is about reclaiming voice, restoring confidence and using digital platforms as a powerful tool to share truth, foster connection and inspire change.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

  • A safe, supportive and respectful environment grounded in trauma informed principles
  • Gentle guided reflections to help you explore your experiences at your own pace
  • Understanding storytelling as a tool for emotional wellness and personal growth
  • Simple introduction to digital storytelling using voice, images, and short video
  • Practical exercises to help you move from silence to expression
  • Opportunities to connect with others through shared experiences in a non judgemental space
  • Support to shape your personal story in a way that feels comfortable and empowering
  • Encouragement to focus on strength, resilience and meaning, not just challenges
  • Optional sharing of your digital story. Sharing is always a choice, never a requirement
  • A closing reflection designed to leave you feeling grounded, heard and empowered
  • Bring Your Own Laptop, Tablet or Phone

Included: Lunch, Nibbles, Hot & Cold Drinks, Music & Vibes


WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

  • Individuals looking for a gentle, creative pathway to emotional wellness
  • People navigating personal challenges, transitions, or healing journeys
  • Community leaders and advocates who support others and want to reflect on their own voice
  • Professionals in wellbeing, education, or community work interested in trauma informed storytelling
  • Creatives who want to use digital tools to share meaningful stories
  • Anyone who wants to build confidence in expressing their lived experience
  • Individuals passionate about breaking stigma around mental and emotional wellness, trauma and identity
