On September 12, 2023 we have Trauma-Informed Nonprofit Marketing Training by Maria Bryan
Develop a safe and healthy storytelling process for your beneficiaries, audiences, and storytellers. Storytelling has the power to move hearts and minds. Marketing tradition tells us that "if it bleeds, it leads," which is easy in nonprofit marketing since we're solving the world's biggest problems. Those we serve are experiencing tremendous pain and overcoming insurmountable challenges.
Can we gather and share nonprofit stories in a way that protects, dignifies, and respects those we serve? This training will explore trauma-informed storytelling, a safe and healthy process for your beneficiaries, audiences, and even storytellers. You'll be equipped with actionable insights and tools to tell trauma-informed and ethical stories that have a huge impact.
