Cara is 12 years old and recently relocated to a new city and school because of the father's job promotion. There are some adjustment issues as Cara's family previously resided in a close-knit rural community. Cara has become increasingly withdrawn since the move, stating, "I don't fit in." The parents presented Cara to counseling after a bullying experience resulted in Cara's refusal to attend school.

Think about developmental considerations when approaching this case from a solution-focused and narrative therapy framework. How would you adapt key concepts and therapeutic techniques from each theory to accommodate Cara's context of life experiences? As Cara proceeds with counseling sessions, what would be the benefits of applying a family systemic approach?
