The Invisible Wounds: Healing Social & Relational Bullying
💔 Gossip, exclusion, silent treatment—these acts leave no bruise, but cause devastating, invisible harm. On this episode of Restoring Community, the Lytton Restorative Justice team tackles the insidious nature of social and relational bullying, from the schoolyard to group chats. We discuss why traditional punishments fail to heal this type of wound and how to shift the focus from punishment to genuine relational repair. We explicitly connect relational harm to severe Mental Health risks like anxiety and isolation. Plus, we unveil the Lytton Toolkit: practical, restorative accountability questions that parents and educators can use tonight to interrupt "mean-girl/boy" culture and build true empathy. Learn how accountability without support is abandonment, and how to start making things right.
