Workshops and training in solution focused practices

Halifax Brief Therapy Centre (HBTC) provides a range of training opportunities for helping professionals (social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, physicians, nurses and occupational therapists, etc.),  This can range from a specific focus on solution focused therapy to utilizing solution focused conversations during brief interventions with clients.

Services include a two-day introduction to the solution focused approach (Becoming Solution Focused in Practice), as well as a more rigorous five-day intensive program.  Ongoing clinical supervision is also provided for organizations and individuals who wish to more fully develop their solution focused practice skills.

HBTC also delivers workshops and training for supervisors and managers in both public and private organizations.  Becoming a Solution Focused Manager is a two-day workshop that introduces the basic principles and assumptions behind the solution focused approach.  The workshop also illustrates how it’s used to develop an effective model of leadership practice.  In addition, managers and supervisors learn how to utilize the approach in building effective teams and organizations.

Becoming a Solution Focused Organization

Do you provide leadership to a small work unit, team or organization?  Are you interested in doing something different when it comes to achieving change, success or improved outcomes?

HBTC can provide ongoing solution focused training and consultation with key management staff that will result in clear, measurable change in individual and organizational performance.  For more information on how to transform your work environment, contact HBTC today. 

Clinical Supervision

As specialists in solution focused therapy, HBTC offers clinical supervision to helping professionals (both in person and via Skype).  Ideally, clinicians will provide audio or video recordings of their work with clients, in order to maximize the benefit of examining the process of solution focused conversations.  As part of our approach, we encourage supervisory clients to utilize practice-based evidence tools in their every day work. Supervision sessions are about one hour in length.  Clinicians can choose the number and frequency of sessions according to their own needs.  Single session consults are welcomed.

Solution Focused Job Coaching

The world is getting smaller all the time.  HBTC now offers online solution focused job coaching via Skype. Sessions are about one hour in length.  Single session consults are welcomed. Scheduling can be flexible so that sessions can be held during non-working hours.  Please contact HBTC for more information regarding opportunities for solution focused job coaching.
