Free Resources for Practitioners & Interpreters
Blue Cabin have worked in partnership with Children & Families Across Borders and Therapeutic Life Story Work International to create a family of new resources to support life story work with refugee and asylum-seeking children and young people.
The three resources are:
- An animation for young people, explaining what life story work is
- A toolkit for practitioners, including life story workers and social workers
- A guide for interpreters who are involved in supporting the delivery of life story work
All the resources are free and available for anyone to access. Log in to see more.
