Photovoice Worldwide

PhotovoiceWorldwide offers interactive, online professional development courses. On completion, participants have the knowledge, skills, and tools to implement their Photovoice Plan. Consulting services and trainings are available in-person or online. PhotovoiceWorldwide was established by Laura Lorenz, PhD, MEd and Russ ‘Doc’ Dingley with a focus on the use of Photovoice to illuminate resources and problems in health and healthcare, and to help individuals, families, and communities to heal. Photovoice is a participatory approach to photography, discussion, writing and outreach for patients and community members to investigate their experiences and collaborate for change. Patient and provider photographs can illuminate factors that influence access to healthcare and quality of care, and can contribute to decision-making in respectful ways. Photovoice helps to unite patients, service providers, and payers to address health and healthcare as shared endeavors. Photovoice is an innovative approach of value to organizations, patients, providers, policymakers, researchers, and communities.
