My Life, My Story: Putting the Person Above the Problem
My Life, My Story (MLMS) is a VA-wide program that enhances patient-centered care by integrating Veteran life stories into the medical record, impacting the Veteran, the interviewer, and front-line staff. The webinar will explore a MLMS project focused on Veterans with spinal cord injuries with a brief overview of various forms of life-story work, such as narrative medicine, dignity therapy, and narrative therapy. Components that have been successfully implemented over the past five years and established a successful and sustainable program will be reviewed. We will share reflections from the experience and share survey and published results from previous MLMS contributors and recipients.
