Telling Your Story

The benefits of narratives – telling your story - in healthcare are gradually
being recognised. Not only do they enable your doctor to plan a more effective healthcare plan, tailored to your specific needs, history and moral beliefs, but
it helps you too.

Writing out your story can often help you discover the root of a problem. It
will help you to trace the development of thought processes, good and bad.
You will see how the little experiences in life have contributed to the bigger picture, a skill that is often lost when we’re living life at the ‘coalface’.

We are collecting narratives as part of an ongoing research project and would love to hear yours. We’d like to hear a bit about yourselves and how you feel knitting or stitching has helped you. No names or contact details will be made public at any time and you can tell us anonymously if you’d prefer.

As an early example of the type of Stories we're receiving, try reading this.

Tell us your story.

Your story can be a great help to others too!
