Educational Opportunities
For 28 years the Vancouver School for Narrative Therapy has hosted annual international conferences and multi-day certificate training workshops. We invite you to train, get to know us, and learn alongside hundreds of others dedicated to mental health, social justice, and exploring narratives with the power to heal ourselves, our communities, and our world.
Online 5-Day Foundations Certificate Training (30 CEC's)
“I was awe struck by who the faculty are and blown away by how much I was able to learn. This course was not only a turning point in my narrative therapy learning but also in my life!! Sending much gratitude and thanks to all of you. See you in the next VSNT course.” - Foundations Participant, New York City, September 2022
Foundations II: Applied Skills for Narrative Practice (12 CEC's)
"My skill and ability to understand and ask narrative therapy questions on a scale of 1 to 10 before the course was a low two and this course saw me progress to a high six!! All I can wonder is "Who would be least surprised I was able to achieve this level of narrative questioning?" Haha! Honestly, the faculty at VSNT are amazing and I cannot thank them enough. Cheers."- Applied Skills Participant, Chicago, Illinois February
6 Month Cross Training Supervision Immersion Course
"Supervision was so incredibly satisfying. The combination of skill building and transcript analysis created a professional learning atmosphere that was not only safe, but encouraging, empowering, and informative. I would like to think that learning from Stephen and Rock must have felt very similar to how they felt learning from Micheal White himself. The level of transparency and collaboration felt like being part of something highly engaged. I sincerely hope there will be further opportunities to continue building on the language and skills this Cross Training Supervision program developed." - Supervision Participant November 2022 - April 2023. Vancouver, Canada
6-Day Advanced Narrative Practice for Advanced Practitioners
"Being a narrative therapist for over 15 years, I wondered what was left to learn? Your Advanced Practice course opened SO many new possibilities for new practice. Thanks to ALL of you and your beautiful work and showing me a way into the future!” - Advanced Participant, May 2021, LA, California
BIG Narrative Therapy Conference
Granville Island, Vancouver, BC
October 27-29th, 2023
In 1993 VSNT hosted the first ever international narrative therapy conference. Finally, after 22 conferences + 100's of training courses + 1000's & 1000's of client session hours and a long 3.5 year COVID layoff, we are inspired to bring you the very best narrative therapy thinkers and therapists from across the world - LIVE!
All practice based workshops are skill focused and designed to demonstrate (with videos and unaltered transcripts) the latest developments in narrative therapy theory and practice with children, families, couple relationships, groups, and communities.
VSNT.live
"VSNT.live has changed everything!! - especially the way I understand. the history, theory and practice of narrative therapy. Sadly I wasn't around to see Michael White or be apart of the all the excitement but now I feel I have been given the chance to relive what narrative was and also what it has become. Thank you so much for providing me with this amazing VSNT.live community that I was desperately trying to find and connect with." - VSNT.live member, Toronto, Canada
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
"I loved all the information and getting it from such high quality professionals. It was amazing to be able to see them all in action. The live demonstrations were probably my favourite part, as well as all of the discussion."
