Therapeutic Life Story Work (Online)

Course price: £280 (£336 inc VAT)

25 September & 2 October | Presented by Katie Wrench

*Please note - VAT is not chargable*

We know that a coherent narrative of our past losses and traumas, can assist in improving emotional health and well-being as we move into adult life. Unfortunately looked after and adopted children have experienced multiple losses and traumas for which they need to make sense. 
Although we know the importance of this work, the challenge is often that frontline workers and carers lack the time, expertise and confidence. This course aims to provide participants with tools and techniques to undertake this important area of work with young people. We are delighted to be hosting Katie Wrench, a nationally renowned life story expert and author to guide you through a range of pratical and creative resources that will help you in this important task.
