Healing Story Alliance 

The Healing Story Alliance is a special interest group of the National Storytelling Network. "Our purpose is to explore and promote the use of storytelling in healing. Our goal for this special interest group is to share our experience and our skills, to increase our knowledge of stories and our knowledge of the best ways to use stories to inform, inspire, nurture and heal. We also wish to reach beyond our storytelling community to share with those in other service professions; therapists, clergy, health care practitioners of all kinds, anyone who can see the benefit of story as a tool for healing. "  This is a wonderful resource which not only tells how stories and story telling can be used in a therapeutic way. The site also includes a library of stories from a wide range of cultures along with a forum to discuss the ways in which the specific stories can be used.
