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
