The purpose of the workshop is to provide an introduction and basic training in solution-focused brief practice. The model has been accepted as an evidenced based practice and there has been much research demonstrating the effectiveness of solution focus with varied populations and in varied contexts. The following topics will be covered during the 3 days:
- The model’s development and evolution
- Assumptions
- Solution-building versus problem-solving
- Co-constructive language.
- Listening to clients with “solution-focused ears.”
- The seven practical tools that keep the solution focus model effective and brief with video examples.
The training is structured to encourage and allow discussion and sharing of ideas. Solution-focus follows many of the social work precepts: “staying where the client is,” viewing clients as an integral part of their social environments, creating a collaborative relationship, and developing a client-centered approach.
Learning Objectives:
After the completion of this workshop, participants will:
- Name the 7 tools of solution-building
- Name the 3 basic rules of solution building
- List the 5 elements of the “thinking break.”
- Define post-structural thinking
- Name the characteristics of a useful goal.
- List the basic solution focused assumptions.
- Name the 4 stages of E.A.R.S.
- Through role-plays, participants will be able to demonstrative a beginning facility using the 7 tools of solution-building.
- Define microanalysis
- Demonstrate the ability to use the microanalysis process to isolate possible opportunities for solution-building in 2 utterance examples
- Demonstrate the ability to extract possible solution-building responses to above isolated opportunities
- Verbalize their solution-building rationales for their chosen responses
