Therapeutic Life Story Work
Therapeutic life story work can help children make sense of their past, gain a balanced understanding of their present and ongoing process and plan for a healthy and stable future.
The production of a life story book means that the information can be conveyed to the child/young person at appropriate time throughout their lives, exploring changing perspectives as different issues arise or surface.
It can also encourage the child/young person and future carers to continue adding information.
This includes researching the child/young person’s history involving significant people to have input in the life story book, thereby giving the child/young person a more balanced picture of their lives especially children in foster care or adopted children.
