AnnotationThe Life Story Network (LSN) was established in 2010 to promote the value of using of life stories to improve the quality of life and well-being of people and communities who would otherwise feel marginalised. The LSN received a grant from the Department of Health (DH) Dementia Strategy to train 500 people in life story work, which became the Your Story Matters (YSM) project. This article outlines the aims and structure of this training in the use of life stories; also feedback from the participating trainers, volunteers and carers. (RH).
