Life Story Work: 

Therapeutic Life Story Work is a structured, therapeutic approach that helps children in care understand their past, make sense of their experiences, and build a coherent narrative about who they are. A training session typically introduces foster parents, social workers, and carers to the core principles, methods, and goals of TLSW so they can better support the child’s healing.
