About this title

Synopsis

This innovative guide brings the benefits of life story work traditionally undertaken with younger children to young people and adolescents. Digital life story work charts new territory through the use of computers, free software, smartphones and camcorders in a range of contemporary and exciting ways. While the products created by this technology may be videos or photo collages, rather than traditional life story books, the therapeutic process of building a relationship with a supportive adult while reflecting on their lives will be immensely important for the young person s self-esteem and identity. With an intensely practical approach, the guide takes the reader through the process of using digital technologies to carry out life story work. It outlines a series of fun and engaging projects on which the practitioner and young person can work together, including photo collages, making soundtracks, creating cartoons, and filming guided walks. Clear step-by-step instructions are provided, with information and advice for those unfamiliar with the technology. Ideal for all those working with or looking after young people who cannot live with their birth families, including social workers, residential workers, therapists, counsellors, foster carers and adopters.
