Empowering images: Using PhotoVoice with tenants with special needs

Abstract

The author has used photography to engage tenants in examining services and their lives, communities, hopes and dreams. PhotoVoice is a way of promoting active participation and dialogue, and is particularly attractive to people who have difficulty with verbal or written communication. PhotoVoice enables others to see the world as perceived and experienced by service users and is an effective way of empowering tenants and involving them in research and change strategies.
