Plenary Session: Using Stories to Inform, Educate, and Stimulate Action

Learn how storytelling can be used to build relationships and develop stronger alliances with collaborators and partners. She will share the key elements of writing and sharing stories so you can share your own, including stories about the power of prevention.

My Prevention Moment is a pilot effort between FRIENDS and Memory Fox that supports a qualitative approach to storytelling, collection, and sharing. In preparation for the 2024 Grantees Meeting, FRIENDS in collaboration with CBCAP State Leads and Tribal/Migrant grantees, utilized this platform to collect images and video clips highlighting the impact of prevention work. Join us as we share a video produced from your submissions showcasing CBCAP Activities around the US and learn how this digital platform can be used for storytelling to share messages of child abuse prevention and family strengthening in your state.

The research tells us that the strength or weakness of the parent-child bond and the quality of social support systems can play a significant role in helping children be resilient. Come learn about prevention programs aimed at helping to strengthen the bond of the parent and child even during incarceration.

In this session, attendees will learn about how the Kansas CBCAP evaluation uses innovative qualitative methods, including Ripple Effects Mapping (REM) and narrative-based methods, to engage families and CBCAP service providers in examining program impact. These methods are part of a participatory action approach that engages providers, program recipients, and key community partners utilizing mind mapping approaches that promote reflection, curiosity, and innovation and yield a more nuanced understanding of the impact. We will also present other possible qualitative methods for evaluating CBCAP programs. We will have a group discussion on qualitative methods to measure impact and quality improvement, answer questions, and strategize ways to include qualitative methods into CBCAP evaluations.

Communicating about complex social issues like child abuse prevention can be challenging for many reasons, among them that when it comes to prevention, you are talking about something that (hopefully) doesn’t happen. In addition, public thinking is constantly evolving, especially in these unprecedented times of social change, which can shape how messages are heard, understood, and acted upon. Against this backdrop, the FrameWorks Institute brings a multi-method, multidisciplinary approach to help a field thoughtfully mobilize knowledge and come together in one voice to more effectively garner support for transforming the systems that help our communities thrive.
This session will begin with insights from FrameWorks’ ongoing Culture Change research into mindsets and long-term culture change which illuminate communications obstacles and opportunities. It will then move to practical strategies and evidence-based tools, and recommendations for framing conversations to broaden understanding, invite engagement, and catalyze innovation and change. It will end with some hands-on application and an opportunity to experience putting these tools into practice, enabling participants to experience firsthand the coherence and alignment which can result from focus on communicating the why, what, and how of your collective work.
