Throughout the past two years, StoryCorps has piloted Road to Resilience, a project to record, preserve and share the stories of kids and families in grief. Please join as we unveil a set of free online resources designed for organizations interested in incorporating storytelling into their own programs. During this session we will walk through our new digital resources, including interview techniques and methods, age-appropriate questions, kid-friendly animations, discussion guides, best practices, and resource lists.
