“…The hopeful possibility is that by reshaping our narratives, we can change our behaviour and ultimately our outcomes [ 50 ]. The untold story shows how important it is to respect and give space to service users and to understand the power of silence [ 51 ], thus creating room for possible future storytelling practice in interdisciplinary social work practice. Silence can indicate a lack of mutual language and trust between service users and practitioners [ 47 ], which limits the possibilities of creating new narratives and a new reality together in interdisciplinary social work practice.…”

Interdisciplinary social work practice produces and circulates narratives of young women in residential care. The dominant narratives often present negative descriptions of this group, and less attention has been paid to their resistance to these “big stories”. This study’s aim is to illuminate this resistance of young women in residential care and to explore how they narrate their experiences of being children at risk who have become women managing everyday life. This study utilises a narrative approach and includes three selected personal stories: two from the participants and one from the first author’s reflections on resistance. Through contextual analysis at the macro, meso and micro levels, we focus on how personal stories can influence interdisciplinary social work services. We found resistance to dominant narratives on the different levels in the chosen stories. Resistance can create space to reconstruct and renarrate reality together and help understand the meaning and power of storytelling and silence. Participants’ resistance can be a tool to rebalance the power between social work practitioners and service users. Based on this analysis, we suggest that interdisciplinary collaborative social work should emphasise service users’ personal stories to a higher degree and, in this way, increase user participation in residential care.
