Abstract

This capstone looks directly at narrative therapy and acts of social justice and how their formidable power can help foster resilience. Through emphasizing how these interventions open a pathway towards making a difference, the significant role interconnectedness plays in society is reinforced, affecting an individual's resilience. Influenced by an upbringing built on the values of social justice, and inspired by a history of facing challenges that arise and finding a way to see these difficult moments as opportunities for personal growth, a case for the importance of societal resilience is developed. The final chapter offers recommendations in the form of a Metissage which is a form of presenting research in a decolonised way, through exploring individual stories as well as research aims. Through the creation of a spoken word poem the possibility of what the research does versus simply what the research means is promoted.
