Some Videos We Made At The Support Groups
Our groups involve lots of different elements ranging from group voice therapy and laryngeal manipulation to communication training and discussions on what it is like to have a voice problem.
At one meeting we devoted the day to using participatory video to discuss voice problems. DO NOT WORRY: YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO BE ON CAMERA IF YOU DIDN’T WANT TO!
Participatory video is a process where a group or community create their own film. The idea behind this is that making a video is easy and accessible, and is a great way of bringing people together to explore issues, voice concerns or simply to be creative and tell stories.
The process is very empowering, enabling the group to take their own action to solve their own problems, and also to communicate their needs and ideas to decision-makers and/or other groups and communities.
Here are a selection of videos we made on the day. All content was created and filmed by attendees.
They were done in an hour and are not designed to be brilliant works of art!!! However, hopefully they will help others to understand a little more about voice problems - the challenges involved and what they can do to help make the world a more voice problem friendly place for our community.
The first video covers some of the challenges of having a voice problem:
