The Journey of Healing: Using narrative therapy and map-making to respond to child abuse in South Africa.

This paper documents an approach to working with girls in eastern and southern Africa who have been subject to abuse and trauma. It first summarises the key principles of narrative therapy's approach to working with trauma and abuse, and then outlines a workshop that was co-created with girls and young women, based on the 'journey metaphor' and ideas of map-making from narrative therapy/ narrative practice.
