An Introduction to Therapeutic Life Story Work – Part 2
In the second session of this two-part training, attendees will continue exploring tools and techniques for engaging children, youth, and families in the life story work process. Building on concepts introduced in Part 1, participants will have opportunities to deepen their understanding of how to support trauma and care-experienced children in processing their stories, strengthening identity, and fostering healing. While it is recommended to attend both sessions, each training is designed to stand alone and be accessible to all.
