First, the principles of narrative therapy and practices are explained deepening in the principles for working with crisis and trauma. Afterwards, several initiatives carried out to cope with the coronavirus crisis that have emerged in the community following these principles are described. Collective documents, letters exchanged between clients, therapists and health professionals, activities carried out by a supervision group, and the presence of narrative practices in social services are presented. Finally, how these initiatives can help us in constructing hope under uncertainty is discussed.
