Story Explorers

Picture
Story Explorers is our life story work service that uses a creative and therapeutic approach to help prepare children for long-term care, adoption or a difficult transition. 

Our experienced staff use play therapy techniques to explore the child’s history through age-appropriate activities, supporting them to synthesise and process difficult memories. 

Each child also receives a metaphoric storybook that is unique to their journey and written just for them. The storybook is tactile and fun with activities throughout to continue to be engaging. The storybook is theirs to keep and add to as their journey continues.

The metaphoric storybook is an effective tool in:
  • allowing the child to see different perspectives and different pathways
  • helping the child to understand their history
  • reducing self-blame and feelings of being unloved or unlovable
  • supporting children coming to terms with chronic sorrow and loss

We have years of experience in delivering life story work and are proud of the high quality work we complete.

Our Story Explorers leaflet can be found here.
