Storytelling at Riley Children's Hospital
Storytelling Arts of Indiana initiated a program in 2002 to provide storytelling at two local children's hospitals, Riley Children's Hospital and the Children's Unit at St. Vincent's Hospital. This storytelling program has met with much success and appreciation by patients, their families, and the staff and doctors of the hospitals.
Storytelling has been well researched for its therapeutic effects with children. While storytelling is entertaining, it provides metaphors to life situations, often helping children deal with their current emotional states and find alternatives for the challenges they face.
