Building from Bullying | Janson Chan | TEDxYorkU

Описание: How storytelling leads to community change

Bullying has a profound effect on both victims and all who care about them. This is a story on how one brother's story led to community and national change. Storytelling is the spark which allowed youth to speak up and create Autism Teenage Partnership, a not-for-profit dedicated to all who were bullied for being different.

Janson Chan is the Founder and Executive-Director of Autism Teenage Partnership. Inspired by his brother with autism, he applied storytelling, community development, health promotion and social determinants of health to teenagers and their families diagnosed with autism and other challenges. Janson led his team to establish much-needed community supports for these teenagers and their families.

This TEDx talk was recorded on April 22 2017 at TEDxYorkUSalon AutismInnovations in Toronto, Canada.
