Here's a bit about Alisa and her organisation from her website:
Alisa Matheson received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology, with an emphasis on Marriage and Family Counseling, in 2017 from the University of Northwestern – St. Paul and completed an Advanced Certificate in Therapeutic Lifestory Work and The National Adoption Competency Mental Health Training Initiative Courses.
She has experience as an adoptive and foster parent, adoption recruiter, educator and contractor; completed 30 Lifebooks and 80 Social and Medical Histories. In every role over the past 11 years, she has championed communication, relationship building, and respect for the personhood and rights of everyone involved in the child welfare system.
We envision a world in which everyone has the same person-centered access to their own personal history, stories, and medical information.
Power of Story completes Lifebooks and Social Medical Histories with children and youth in Minnesota foster care to bring these necessary, healing, therapeutic, and valuable items to life.
We also provides life history specific resources and workshops nationwide.
