This participatory workshop introduces the Life Story Board visual schema and toolkit. Its use in assessment, counselling, and research applications is presented with demonstration, and opportunity for hands-on experience and discussion.
Facilitators: Richelle Ready RSW works in areas of child welfare, intimate partner violence and suicide prevention. Robert Chase MD is assistant professor in Community Health Sciences at University of Manitoba and physician at the MFL Occupational Health Centre. He developed the Vidaview Life Story Board.
As a tool for counsellors and therapists:
- the visual, tactile co-construction of a lifescape is an engaging way to listen, and for the client to give voice and bring to visual attention what they share.
- LSB facilitates respectful exploration of sensitive issues, with a sense of safety and control, and enhances the therapeutic alliance.
- LSB can be used in assessment, as well as in trauma-informed, narrative and art-based approaches with older children and adults.
- LSB is a versatile modality in qualitative interview.
