Life Story Work (LSW) is an intervention primarily used with care-experienced young people to help them produce a coherent, co-produced life narrative. The intervention has been in circulation since the 1960s, yet it has still been vastly under-researched. This article examines two models of LSW in circulation in the UK today and concludes that each model has its advantages and limitations. However, more research into the outcomes of LSW is needed. The article offers an autoethnographic case study of the author’s own experience of LSW and its potential outcomes to help inspire more researchers examine this vital intervention for a young person’s development
