Life story work is a term commonly used to describe an approach that aids looked-after and adopted children in exploring and understanding their life experiences with the support of a trusted adult. This comprehensive guide is a vital resource for carers and professionals seeking to conduct life story work with traumatized or vulnerable children in their care.
The foundation of this approach is rooted in positive psychology, drawing upon the latest research and real-life practices. The book provides a robust theoretical framework for life story work, along with a practical and user-friendly program of sessions. Each session is carefully designed to cover the necessary equipment, considerations for the most suitable practitioner, and answers to frequently asked questions. Additionally, age-appropriate approaches and ideas are discussed to extend each session into other activities and methods, making it more feasible for life story work to be a collaborative effort between two or three adults who know the child well.
By embracing life story work, professionals and carers gain the confidence to approach this work sensitively and positively, catering to the unique needs of the child while fostering their self-perception and relationships. This book serves as a valuable tool for those dedicated to providing the best support and care for children who have faced challenging circumstances.
