These students are thus able to share their insights and strategies in support of peers who may be experiencing similar problems. Drawing on narrative counselling conversations as well as narrative community work, a school counsellor facilitates the process. This paper describes how insider voices contribute to the brochures and provides detail from one case example. In keeping with narrative approaches to problems, the goals are to de-privatise and de-individualise young people\u2019s experiences of difficulties, and to reposition these students from \u2018sufferers\u2019 of problems to \u2018experts\u2019 on how to overcome them. In the process not only are students\u2019 preferred identities developed, but also collective knowledge is created, and students are empowered to support one another.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.unitec.ac.nz\/epress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Counsellor-clients.pdf\">Read the paper<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<p>Nigel Pizzini and Helen Gremillion (2017).
