Solution-Focused Brief Therapy is inherently strength-based and holistic in the way it engages families. While developed initially as a therapy model, it has transferred well to many different areas of community work. Its combination of looking forward while helping people recognize their strengths and learn from their successes is a perfect fit for the development of family plans, street-level outreach, adult reentry counseling, job readiness training, and family group conferences. The possibilities are endless!
Please consider attending this event – it will be well worth the effort.
