Life Story Work
Elise Saunders
Richard Rose’s Therapeutic Life Story Work is an intervention that supports children and young people who have experienced trauma through safely exploring and making meaning of their past and present. It enables the young person to understand themselves, those around them and the wider world. Helping young people understand what has happened to them can assist in not letting the past dominate their present. Therapeutic Life Story Work also supports young people to develop compassion for and a deeper understanding of themselves, and hope for their future.
The workshop will look at the essentials of Therapeutic Life Story Work, as well as provide practical approaches for working with young people who have experienced trauma. Attendees will be given the chance to think through and experiment with various tools that can be used when working with traumatised young people.

The impact of physical, sexual and psychological violence on young men’s mental health, identity in formation, and social relationships and the worker’s perspectives and assumptions of gender, social roles and coping behaviour.
Young People’s Rights & the Law
Lisa Nguyen
Have you ever helped a young person who has been treated unfairly by police? This practical session will provide an overview of young people’s rights when they come in to contact with authorities, such as the police or Protective Services Officers (PSOs). We will explore what happens when a young person is charged with a criminal offence, including their rights on arrest, getting bail, and appearing in court. Through case study discussions and group activities, we will provide an overview of the main scenarios that bring young people into contact with authorities, such as ticketing offences, graffiti, searches and move-on laws and set out the rights of young people when dealing with people in power. We will also provide you with some helpful tips on how best to support a young person when things go wrong.
