Storiez: Trauma Narratives with Urban Youth (Therapist Training)

*For Individual Use

This training will guide masters level clinicians or clinicians in training through the process of helping youth create, voice, and honor their trauma narratives. This training will begin with an introduction to trauma (defining trauma, exploring trauma exposure and inner city youth, and considering the consequences of trauma exposure). It will then explore trauma treatment for youth (best practices, treatment modalities, common factors, and trauma narratives). Finally, the Storiez intervention will be presented. Storiez is a 9-step framework to assist inner city youth as they create, voice, and honor their life narratives using a variety of innovative formats and mediums.

Dr. Meagan Corrado

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.
