This course offers a creative deep dive into transforming lived experiences into universal stories that foster empathy, connection, and understanding. Based on my Governor General’s Gold Medal-winning arts-based PhD in Psychiatry and over a decade of mental health–focused exhibitions, filmmaking, writing, and advocacy, the course views personal narratives as sites of meaning-making and knowledge generation.
You will explore how to turn your experiences — whether of physical or mental illness, healing, resilience, or transformation — into works of art that others can feel, understand, and carry with them.
