Bounced Back: Shared Stories that Change Lives with Founder of Stories for Wellbeing, Cecile Trijssenaar #S1E3

An audiobook is a passive experience where a story finds its way into your ears, but the potential to engage someone’s imagination through active experiences and bibliotherapy is boundless.

Harnessing that joy and sharing it with the masses is a driving force behind Cecile Trijssenaar, Founder of Stories for Wellbeing.

In episode 3 of this podcast mini-series, Cecile speaks with councillor Philip Broadhead to discuss how the organisation is focusing on aspirations to improve mental wellbeing through stories written around, or about, the local area.

This episode covers:

• The business’ origins mid-Covid and how it continues to grow its reach post-pandemic
• How Stories for Wellbeing sparks imagination, which leads into a wider sense of wellbeing
• Ways in which the Bounce Back Challenge Fund has enabled Stories for Wellbeing to scale up their business model
