Life Story Training
What is Life Story Training?
In truth their is no exact definition or prescription for Life Story training, however, we believe that the overall goal of Life Story Work is to help people to understand their lives.
This includes their life history and information about relatives, friends, carers, places lived and key life events as well as personal achievements.
Life Story Work may also help people to plan for their future as a result of understanding their past and the effect that it has had on them.
What are the benefits of Life Story training?
- Relate to children and young people in your care more so through an understanding of who they are.
- Understand their behaviours and character traits.
- Implement strategies that are more likely to be successful for managing behaviours and risks.
- Improve relationships with the children and young people in your care.
- Provide increased levels of therapeutic support.
- Improve your relationships with the families and friends of the children and young people in your care.
- Improve your communication with the children and young people in your care.
