This study uses an innovative modification to Photovoice methodology to explore the lived experiences of people who have non-apparent disabilities, chronic pain and/or chronic illness. Responding to limitations to mobility, movement, transportation, capacity, and access, the project provided a series of studio sessions with a professional photographer, in which participants directed the content and quality of photographs documenting their experiences with disability, chronic pain and/or chronic illness. Four themes emerged from the images and writing: unfettered anger, challenging expectations, duality of reality, and resistance/resilience. Social workers can use these findings and arts-based methodology to help build community among marginalized groups.

这项研究对Photovoice方法进行了创新的修改，以探索患有非表观残疾，慢性疼痛和/或慢性疾病的人们的生活经验。针对行动不便，出行，运输，能力和出入的限制，该项目与专业摄影师进行了一系列摄影棚会议，参与者指导照片的内容和质量，记录他们的残疾，慢性疼痛和/或慢性病经历疾病。从图像和文字中出现了四个主题：不受约束的愤怒，具有挑战性的期望，现实的双重性以及抵抗/韧性。社会工作者可以使用这些发现和基于艺术的方法来帮助边缘群体建立社区。
