I cared enough about this issue BEFORE Columbine that I wrote a book about how to create emotionally supportive listening relationships and support groups. It is called Changing the World One Relationship at a Time and I'm trying to find ways to bring it to the attention of those people who could use it.
Yes, I would like to sell copies, but I never would have written a book on this topic if I didn't think the information was important. I have seen the techniques in my book used to create powerful alliances that have changed people's lives including my own. You see, I was one of those ostracized kids and relate very strongly to the outpouring of pain being expressed on this issue. Now I am 40. Through my work as a peer counseling practitioner and teacher I have healed most of the wounds from my childhood and now make my living teaching other people how to support each other well. (I currently work for the Alzheimers Association.)
You can read excerpts from my book at my website.
If you can think of individuals or organizations that could benefit from this book, let me know. I believe my publisher might be willing to provide copies at a substantial discount if they were bought in bulk.
