Welcome to the Wisdoms folder.
In this folder you will find stories by and about individuals and families who have been to The Bouverie Family Centre. These stories were given to the Wisdoms’ folder as a gift to people like you, in the hope that they will either bring inspiration or hope or just a feeling that you are not alone.
Included are stories from children, adolescents, mothers, fathers, families, people who have experienced abuse (sexual, emotional, physical), families experiencing a member with an acquired brain injury or a mental illness and so on.
These stories were sometimes co-written with the therapist and sometimes written by the family or individual on their won.
We hope that this collection of experiences will grow and grow! We believe families who have had to deal with and resolve significant problems, whatever these may be, are in a good position to help others struggling with similar difficulties.
Perhaps after reading a story in this folder, and because you too have something to tell another family or individual in a similar position to yourself, you will want to include your story. If you do feel you have a story to tell, please talk to your family counsellor. They will be most willing to help you in any way you may wish.
Here are some questions you might consider as you read the stories:
- In what way, if any, does this story touch you?
- What, if anything, might you take away with you that you could try to do or think about in relation to your own life?
- What questions, if any, does this story raise for you?
Warm Regards,
The Bouverie Staff
