A one day seminar
Friday 19 th November 2010
Richard Rose MBA BPhil, PQCCA, PGSWE, CQSW
Clinical Practice Director of the Mary Walsh Institute at SACCS
This course provides an introduction to the Life Story process, based on the book by Richard Rose and Terry Philpot ‘The Child's Own Story: Life Story Work with Traumatised Children' (part of the SACCS Delivering Recovery series, published by Jessica Kingsley).

- The significance of ‘magical thinking'
- The Life Story process: gathering and collating information
- Techniques for producing the Life Story book
This course is suitable for Foster Carers and Adoptive Parents. It will complement the professional development of the children's workforce, including Social Workers, Social Care and Education Professionals, Voluntary and Charitable Organisations, Independent Providers, Community Services, Fostering and Adoption Practitioners, Family and Child Therapists, CAFCASS and CAMHS.
Venue: Castle Grove, Headingley, Leeds
