Outreach Workshops
Our outreach workshops use storytelling and facilitated dialogue to support reflection, connection and understanding in community, education and organisational settings.
Delivered as one-off or short-series sessions, these workshops create structured, inclusive spaces where participants can engage with lived experience, explore themes such as identity, stigma and resilience, and reflect on their own perspectives.
Workshops are interactive and creative, using reflective prompts and storytelling exercises to encourage participation, listening and discussion. Sessions are tailored to the context and audience, and can include contributions from people with lived experience where appropriate.
Outreach workshops are suitable for:
Schools and Colleges Community groupsYouth Organisations Public and Voluntary sector settingsFeedback from a partner
“I just wanted to thank you and your young people for coming to talk to our students in Loughshore. The feedback from our students was very positive, particularly around understanding stigma, listening to lived experience, and having the opportunity to reflect and be heard during the session.” — John Lyster, Head of Loughshore Resource Educational Centre, Belfast
The Community Resiliency Model © (CRM) are wellness skills developed by using the latest knowledge in neuroscience. CRM training helps individuals build their own personal resilience by understanding the biology of stress reactions. Enabling the participants to help gain an awareness of what is happening to their mind and body when stressed. Our training teaches us new skills to bring the body and mind back into a natural balance also known as our resilience zone.
It has been proven by practicing CRM skills, an individual’s wellbeing improves and resilience grows.
Voicing the Void can tailor CRM Training to suit your group or community needs. CRM training is straightforward and effective and a powerful way to improve and save lives.
Since taking part in CRM training, I am so much more aware of my own nervous system and how it impacts my mind and body. I find it easier to get myself back into my resilience zone and use the coping skills learned in the training. Would highly recommend.
