Aim:
• This course will offer practitioners who are already
using solution focused ideas in their work the opportunity to
further extend and develop their practice within this particular
field
Learning Outcomes:

of how solution focused approaches fits with this client group
• Participants will leave with new tools and improved skills

This event which is free would
aim to:
• Provide peer supervision in the first half whereby people
would be invited to bring along case material. May be the reflecting
team framework might be used to do this
• In the second part there’d be a discussion on a
“preferred future” for such a group which might bring
forth new blood for the organization, leading up to the next AGM.
