Support for Targets
We support targets of
bullying when we:
- protect them from future
bullying
- Help them develop an answer to the question: "why did
he/she do that?" They need to find alternatives to feeling guilty for being
victimized.
- involve them in expressive education/therapy where they
can act, write, draw, and talk about their experiences.
- help them get support from others with similar histories.
- and- most importantly- help them
connect with a network of peer support and friendship.
We can draw on extensive work done in supporting the victims of sexual abuse, especially
the work of Linda Sanford. See her excellent books:
The Silent Children and
Strong At the Broken Places
