CO-CONSTRUCTING RESILIENCE: SOLUTION-FOCUSED EXAMPLES FROM SUICIDE INTERVENTON AND TRAUMA TREATMENT

CO-CONSTRUCTING RESILIENCE: SOLUTION-FOCUSED EXAMPLES FROM SUICIDE INTERVENTON AND TRAUMA TREATMENT

Solution-Focused conversations can provide an environment where clients and therapists tap into, amplify, and utilize resilience. In this interactive workshop, we will explore case examples of solution-focused practice with clients who are struggling with crisis, despair, loss and posttraumatic stress. Participants will observe and practice solution-focused methods and language habits that can build awareness of both internal and external/systemic resources; evoke hope and reasons for living; construct safety; and help clients to focus on what is within their control. Best hopes for this workshop are that participants will take away something that they can put to immediate use in their own work.

Registration for the workshop begins on Wednesday, August 1 at 12:00 p.m.
