Digital Storytelling

Presented by Kerrie Mills

Learning Objectives

  • Develop an overall understanding of and learn how DST can

therapeutic

  • Identify benefits of using technology to tell recovery stories
  • Learn how using one’s own spoken voice, artwork,

photographic images and video can be combined to tell a compelling story (that may be incorporated as part of recovery plan)

  • Identify three resources that can be used for digital

storytelling

  • Appreciate the potential of DST to help share experiences,

raise awareness, and as a healthy form of self-expression

Storytelling

  • “Storytelling is a means for sharing and interpreting
  • experiences. Stories are universal in that they can

bridge cultural, linguistic, and age-related divides. Storytelling can be adaptive for all ages, leaving out the notion of age segregation. Storytelling can be used as a method to teach ethics, values, and cultural norms and

  • differences. Learning is most effective when it takes

place in social environments that provide authentic social cues about how knowledge is to be applied. Stories function as a tool to pass on knowledge in a social context.”

There are several psychological reasons why stories are so powerful

  • Stories have always been a primal form of communication.

They are timeless links to ancient traditions, legends, archetypes, myths, and symbols. They connect us to a larger self and universal truths.

  • Stories are about collaboration and connection. They transcend

generations, they engage us through emotions, and they connect us to others. Through stories we share passions, sadness, hardships and joys. We share meaning and purpose. Stories are the common ground that allows people to communicate,

  • vercoming our defenses and our differences. Stories allow us to

understand ourselves better and to find our commonality with

  • thers.

(Rutledge, 2011)

What is Digital Storytelling?

  • Digital Storytelling is the modern expression
  • f the ancient art of storytelling. Throughout

history, storytelling has been used to share knowledge, wisdom, and values. Stories have taken many different forms. Stories have been adapted to each successive medium that has emerged, from the circle of the campfire to the silver screen, and now the computer screen.- The Digital Storytelling Association

Our DST group

  • Staffing (Social worker, peer support tech, recreational

therapist, two art therapists, and a volunteer artist)

  • Group size (6-8)
  • Donated Dell laptops (2005)- (you don’t need new

equipment)

  • Software (researched several, decided on Microsoft

Movie Maker)

  • Classes (8-10 weeks) 2 hours long
  • Veterans with PTSD
  • Measures (BDI, ISMI, PCL-M)

General Process

  • Orientation & expectations (including a list of

how to manage distress)

  • Brainstorming: Participants share their ideas

with others in the group. Peers and facilitators ask questions and help refine ideas

  • Scripting: Participants author a 200-300 word

script that will become the audio for their

  • stories. Peers and facilitators can ask

questions and provide feedback on the script.

General Process (cont.)

  • Recording and Editing: this is where the piece comes

together

  • Fine Tuning and Titling: Participants add transitions,

titles, and credits. It’s important for this to come last, as transitions can change the timing of a piece

  • Burning: Participants export their projects and burn

them to CD or DVD

  • Presentation: what kind of presentation, who will the

audience be

  • Process- Participants focus on processing the

experience of sharing the projects as well as the process of participating in the group as a whole

Group wrap up (end of each session)

  • Wrap up/take away
  • What did you take away from today’s group

that you did not know before?

  • How was this group helpful or unhelpful?
  • What last minute questions or concern do you

have?

Lessons Learned

  • Power sessions (needed some longer sessions

to complete the project)

  • Longer weekly sessions (2 hours needed)
  • Staff learn all aspects of technology
  • Ethical considerations

– Who is going to see the video – Where will be? (FB, YouTube, etc.)

Surprises

  • Participants could learn and participate even if

they were not “tech savvy”

  • No art experience necessary (could use

collage)

  • The bonding of the group of participants (so

much support for one another)

Listener-Storyteller

  • The Listener-Storyteller Relationship
  • Is not static
  • Maintains equality and shared power
  • Is what both people are doing

From “What’s Wrong with You?” to “What Happened to You?” From People with many symptoms …to people with many stories

  • (Adapted from slides by Beth Filson, CPS, M.F.A.)

“Not being able to tell anyone about your trauma is a lonely place. You feel disconnected from the world. You want to die.” - Lisa, MH advocate (explaining her trauma and bipolar disorder) Asking ourselves : “How comfortable am I with acknowledging trauma?” “I will never forget anyone who went on this journey with me” (Vet from Creative Writing Class at VA Palo Alto Healthcare system)
