Introduction to the special section: Creative applications of Restorative Retelling

Abstract

Restorative Retelling is a structured, group-based intervention for violent loss survivors. Preliminary evidence supports the effectiveness of Restorative Retelling as a tertiary intervention for bereavement-related mental health problems. Providers delivering treatments like Restorative Retelling, however, should recognize that many survivors will likely encounter a number of barriers to care that can make engaging in structured, time-intensive interventions rather difficult. In this special section, we introduce a series of articles by expert clinicians and researchers describing creative applications of the restorative retelling model that simultaneously aim to mitigate known barriers to care and promote engagement in violent loss treatment.
