2016 Recovery Workforce Summit: Fostering Recovery through Photovoice

What is Photovoice?

This workshop examines the promise of the Photovoice methodology to enhance recovery-oriented services. It presents an overview of Photovoice-based programs recently developed at the Boston University Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation. These psycho-educational programs integrate Photovoice methodology as a platform to empower participants and to give them a tool to express personal perspectives on a variety of issues such as overcoming prejudice and discrimination, vocational recovery, community participation, and transition age youth recovery. 

Along with the scheduled workshops, PhotoVoice will be on display in our exhibit hall.  We will also be conducting docent tours of the displays to provide a more in-depth look into PhotoVoice.
