Abstract
This chapter offers a reflexive account of learning from digital storytelling practices in a health context. It reviews some of the theoretical concepts that influence practice in the inter-related fields of women's and maternal wellbeing and systemic, narrative, and storytelling practices. It specifically explores the performative and transformative aspects of digital storytelling in maternal mental health, paying attention to the construct of motherhood and how this is performed, in context. Wrapped around this is an appreciation of personal storytelling as impactful for the storytellers and for the witnesses/companions to these stories. Impact is relationally framed and redefined as mutual learning and transformation. The author reviews six digital stories that have been used for teaching and training purposes within the field of maternal mental health, and reflects on the key themes that emerge from a thematic analysis of these stories.
