The theme of this year's Conference is EXPLORING RESILIENCE - SF quests!

We will explore how a solution-focused brief therapy (approach) promotes the creation of spaces and contexts that enhance the remedial potential of clients who face the after-effects of difficult experiences. We also would like to highlight the topic of "help the helpers", i.e., how helpers can also take care of themselves. The topic seems to us particularly significant when many specialists reacting to Russia's attack on Ukraine undertook the difficult task of working with crisis intervention strategies, trauma, and loss. Part of the specialists, who help others, are refugees from Ukraine and victims of the war.

We deeply hope that the Conference of the European Brief Therapy Association will be a place for meetings, exchanging experiences, and mutual learning for specialists from Poland, , and all over Europe. We are looking forward to meet specialists from Ukraine who are currently working in Poland.
