Picturing Change: A Process of Using Photovoice to Tell Client Stories

Live Online Webinar
Tuesday, April 4, 2023
5:30– 7:00pm ET

NYSED and ASWB/ACE approved for 1.5 CE contact hours

Picturing Change is a course that will harness the power of this visual second language and utilize it for positive change. We will use the principles of Photovoice, a methodology developed almost 3 decades ago (long before Facebook & Instagram), and put the tools of that methodology into the hands of providers, allowing them to use these to support and empower clients to use their voices – in images and words - to express themselves and create change.

As a result of attending this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Create a plan for a Photovoice project that helps their clients address their biopsychosocial needs.
• Have tools to be able to adapt the plan/structure to a particular group of clients or in a specific setting.
• Identify a sample project they want to design with a specific theme or issues to be addressed.
• Create Photovoice prompts for the project.
• Identify potential uses/audiences for the end product images and words, and,
• Create a structure to integrate the work into the ongoing life of the individual, group, or organization.

Annie Levy, LMSW

Annie Levy works with leaders and signature organizations to help them understand and tell the story of who they are to new and existing audiences. She is also known for her Photovoice projects, helping professionals work with different communities to tell their own stories in words and images – ranging from young people with critical illnesses to older adults with early onset dementia.

Trained as both a writer and photographer with her BFA from NYU Tisch School of the Arts and a social worker (LMSW, Hunter School of Social Work), Annie has combined these two fields. She is an award-winning photographer and creative director whose work telling the stories of different companies, organizations, and people are done on a variety of platforms – ranging from exclusively digital to live events. She works in both traditional and unique spaces to allow people to both see and experience clients’ stories.

In addition to work commissioned by The Frick Collection and the United Nations, her most recent projects have included designing 3 digitally based projects for the National Academy of Medicine. She has created digital galleries for grantee usage for the John A. Hartford Foundation, worked with adolescents on projects funded by both the Arnold P. Gold and Fred J. Epstein Foundations, and had her work featured at Caring Kind for their Lobby Installation at the Hebrew Home for the Aged and a permanent installation at Mt. Sinai West.

Annie is frequently invited to speak to groups about project design and messaging, including Google’s Ignite Healthcare, Cleveland Clinic’s Empathy & Innovation Conference, John A. Hartford Communications Conferences, Center for Health Care Design, and New York Times Conference for Journalists, among others.
