I am liking the Imaginif Child Protection site that was posted on someone's else blog or webpage.

I am posting two articles:

What is Life Story Work: Life story work is not merely an elaborate photo album, a record of a life story or a fun thing to do. Life Story work is a three part therapeutic intervention: a process used to assist children in care to integrate past hurts and make sense of why they are in care and who they are. Life Story Work is a tool that therapists and those working closely with kids in out of home care use as a framework of producing best practice outcomes for a subject child.

What is Scrapathy? Scrapathy is the therapeutic marriage of Life Story Work with Scrap book tenets and techniques. Designed to help kids in out of home care creatively integrate their pain and understand who they are, why they are in care and where they are going, it is a hands on practical art therapy course where participants are encouraged to make a scrap book page for themselves and ultimately a scrapbook album of a child or young person’s life story work. Scrapathy works equally as well as a self development or self improvement tool.
