Why is it important?
At school, relational aggression and bullying is often cleverly hidden from adults. This increases the loneliness and harm experienced by children who are targeted, because it distances them from a safe base of support. Through deep listening the narrative approach can provide a secure base for children, inviting strength and hope and providing a scaffold as they problem solve towards a new story.
