Course content: Solution focused approaches are a practical, non problem way of working with drug and alcohols users which are becoming fast accepted as a valid and effective way of working. They are increasing seen as being essential additions to the  toolbox of drug and alcohol workers.

Course objectives:

On completion of the course participants will be able to:

  • Recognise the key elements and interventions used in Solution Focused Brief Therapy

  • Use Solution Focused approaches in their work with drug and alcohol users

  • Combine Solution Focused approaches with the Cycle of Change

Duration 2 days

Solution focused approaches to working with users are becoming very popular with both practitioners and clients. The assumptions behind it fit in well with some of the models familiar in the field.

Some of these assumptions are:-
  • the client is the expert
  • all change, even small changes are positive - no change is better than things getting worse.
  • the time spent away from the worker is the most important.
  • there is no need to know everything about the problem to find solutions.
 
Get hold of some of the literature.
