I want to probe deeper into the emotional and social side of healing from an acquired brain injury. I plan to do this through arts-based methods with my participants who are currently processing a diagnosis.

It’s not about garnering sympathy, but making space for people who are figuring out their path to talk about what they might need from others.

Arts-based methods

Arts-based methods (or arts-based research) is any kind of research that uses creativity such as drawing, photography, theatre, songwriting, poetry, as a way to collect data or to share results from a study.

Typically in healthcare, quantitative research methods are used. However those methods wouldn’t be suitable for the research questions that I want to explore.
