FREE: What is Narrative Practice?
FREE: Aboriginal Narrative Practice Course
As Aunty Barbara Wingard says, narrative practice is about ‘telling our stories in ways that make us stronger’. In this free online course you can watch videos from a wide range of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander narrative counsellors, health workers and community workers. You can also hear about some of their creative inventions! This is a self-directed course that you can start straight away! We invite you to watch the videos, read the articles and then leave your own comments, thoughts, stories and questions on this site.

FREE: Feminisms, Intersectionality & Narrative Practice
This free course offers feminist and intersectional insights and provocations across key areas of practice, including responding to gendered violence and state violence, working with survivors of childhood sexual abuse, deconstructing discourses of mental health and eating issues, and discussing sex, pleasure and respectful relationships. It includes videos, readings and opportunities for reflection across nine online lessons. Now, more than ever, it seems a critical time for the narrative practice field to be exploring realms of feminisms and intersectionality.
FREE: Sexualities, Genders and Narrative Practice: A narrative therapy queer space
This free course offers you an opportunity to take a deep dive into the use of narrative practice with folks of all genders, bodies, sexualities, and relationships. It hopes to stretch and complicate your assumptions and understandings and to invite you to step into new and exciting territories. You can explore the realms of this course, with its rich array of videos and articles, at your own pace and share your reflections with other course participants.
