Stories from the Storm:

Reflections on Appalachian Resilience

As we navigate the aftermath of Hurricane Helene and the extreme devastation in our region, StoryCollab and the ETSU Research Corporation are partnering with Ballad Health and the Niswonger Foundation to offer a supportive, online listening space, where personal struggles and moments of courage can be shared, and virtual community can be cultivated.

Our facilitators will draw on their years of experience with trauma-informed methods as they support the work of documenting everyday stories, in these unprecedented times.

During these free, 90-minute Listening Sessions, you will be invited to explore moments from your experience that have challenged you deeply or uplifted your spirits in the aftermath of this unprecedented natural disaster.
