Solution Focused Therapy

This course provides an excellent introduction to solution focused work with children and families. Beginning with an overview of the approach, participants will be taken through its various elements in detail.

A range of teaching methods are used, with particular focus on experiential exercises, in pairs and small groups, and modelling via video extracts of the tutor’s own practice. Participants are provided with a comprehensive work booklet and reading list. There is ample space for discussion of issues, both practice and theory related, as well as case studies.

The course is designed for a multi-disciplinary audience of staff who work directly with children, young people and their families.

Learning outcomes cover:

• The basic principles and techniques of solution focused practice.
• Opportunities to discuss the principles and practise some of the techniques.
• Giving participants an understanding of the overall approach.
• Enabling participants to introduce solution-focused skills into their everyday practice.
