What do children of parents with a mental illness experience in Tyrol?

Great that you want to find out how you can help us with your personal story! Here you will find some practical information. If you don't really know what it's all about yet, download the flyer and find out how important your role is.

What we absolutely want to say at this point: Your story is valuable for us - and for people who are in a similar situation to you - regardless of your parent’s mental illness!

The interviews with people with lived experience will take place towards end of May 2019. This is how it works:

  • Briefing: We discuss the content of the interviews and topics that should not be made public. Together we will also work out the format we want to use to share your story with others.  We also take a close look at the technical process. You will get to know those members of our team who will also be present during the interview.  Furthermore, we will talk about the purposes for which you give us permission to use the interview contents.

  • Interview: We record your story in the format that we deliberated together before.

Here are some inspirations:

Portrait Story│ Poem │ Video │ Picture Story │ Animation│Podcast │ Tree of Life

  • Debriefing: We talk about how you experienced the interview. We also discuss what happens to your material. Thereby, it will be about how we will edit the recordings up to the final format. We'll ask for your "ok" before any release - we'll discuss that in the debriefing as well. Very important: If you don't feel well after the interview, you can talk to a clinical psychologist from Innsbruck about it!

As an expense allowance you will receive a lump sum of 20 Euro.

We will fill out two forms with you in the meetings, which you can already have a look at here if you like: the declaration of consent as well as the expense allowance and secrecy.

The documents are in German – contact us in case you want to participate in our storytelling project but are not a German speaker.
