ABOUT US
The SHINE A LIGHT NARRATIVE THERAPY RESEARCH FUND is committed to honoring one of the major intentions of Michael White's
envisaged next phase of work -- to provide a context for exploring recent developments in the fields of social and human
enquiry relevant to the enhancement of narrative practice.
The SHINE A LIGHT NARRATIVE THERAPY RESEARCH FUND is committed to encouraging and facilitating rigorous research to contribute
to the body of knowledge about narrative approaches (as developed by Michael White) to individual, family and community psychosocial practice.
The SHINE A LIGHT NARRATIVE THERAPY RESEARCH FUND hopes to spark, foster and support such exploration and enquiry for the enhancement
of narrative approaches through the funding of rigorous and creative research methodologies.
The SHINE A LIGHT NARRATIVE THERAPY RESEARCH FUND is committed to facilitating new developments in narrative practices that are
informed by and predicated on rigorous research.
The SHINE A LIGHT NARRATIVE THERAPY RESEARCH FUND is equally committed to the distribution of such knowledges to inform and enhance
narrative practices in their role in the prevention, preparedness and response to the distressing predicaments in which
people find themselves, from individuals to communities.
It is envisaged that research funded by the SHINE A LIGHT NARRATIVE THERAPY RESEARCH FUND will add to the body of knowledge
relating to narrative practices - about what contributes to natural human coping strategies - with the ultimate goal of alleviating
the psychological distress in which people, families and communities may find themselves.
The SHINE A LIGHT NARRATIVE THERAPY RESEARCH FUND is an independently established and operated not-for-profit international
organization with funds managed by the Community Foundation of South Australia.
