Storiez: A Coping Guide

My name is Meagan Corrado. I am a Doctor of Social Work and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My interest in helping others began at an early age when I helped family members and friends. Storiez arose from my own personal experiences with trauma and my clinical work with youth.

For over 15 years, I have worked with children and teenagers who have experienced trauma. I take a creative approach to my work with youth, using narratives, art, music, poetry, and play. Art and storytelling have also been important outlets for me as I have worked through my own trauma.

As the owner and founder of Storiez, I authored 10 books and trained over 8,000 clinicians, community leaders, and trauma survivors across 22 training programs. I earned my Doctorate of Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania in 2016 and my Masters of Social Services from Bryn Mawr College in 2009. Currently, I am an Assistant Professor at West Chester University in their Masters of Social Work program.

For several years, I have provided support to systems working to make their organizations more trauma-informed. These systems have included:

• The City of Philadelphia’s Office of Homeless Services
• The Philadelphia Police Department
• Philadelphia's Department of Human Services
• Philadelphia School District's Office of School Safety
• The American Institutes for Research

I look forward to partnering with you so that together we can support youth in building a more hopeful future.
