The Stories in Power project began in February of 2022 with a meeting of the community advisory team, a group of individuals representing Health Forward’s communities of focus who met monthly and informed and influenced all aspects of the project including what we should ask, who we should ask, how we should ask and what it meant.
Data were collected in three main ways: Listening Circles, a community survey, and Paint and S.I.P. events — guided sessions that merged creative exploration and cultural storytelling. This book shares some findings from the project.
