Having participated in the introductory workshop staff then ask us ‘Where to from here?’ This workshop enables attendees with some experience of SFBT to become more comfortable with the approach. As well as consolidating earlier learning it addresses often neglected topics such as: dealing with feelings; what to do when we get ‘stuck’; how to engage unmotivated clients and the expanded use of questions.
This one- or two-day workshop* can also be used for supervision purposes, for those who are already working with SFBT and would like a ‘refresher’ as well as staff who would like an opportunity to look at their own practice or specialised work with specific client groups.
