Life Story Work
Life Story Work is a special way we help children who've had some tough times, like being separated from their parents or having to live with different families. It's like making a personal storybook about their own life.
In this storybook, we use words, pictures, and special things like letters or photos. These help remember important people, places, or times in their life.
The main idea of Life Story Work is to help children understand their own story better. It can make them feel good about themselves and help them get ready for what's coming next. It's a way for children to talk openly, explore their feelings, and ask questions about their past.
This process can bring up lots of feelings, so it's really important to have trained people there to help. They can guide children through their own story in a caring way. Life Story Work can help children make sense of the tough stuff, accept their past, and look forward to the future.
