Description
Heard about solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) and wondering what it really is? Have you heard about SFBT and think it could never work with some of the more challenging diagnoses and conditions, such as schizophrenia, chronic addiction, and trauma? This is the webinar for you. This training offers an overview of what evidence-based SFBT is, how and why it works, and provides concrete tools you can begin using immediately. This class is taught by international trainer, consultant, and author, Teri Pichot. Pichot studied under Insoo Kim Berg and has developed and implemented programs that used solution-focused brief therapy with some of the most challenging populations including addiction, domestic violence, and chronic mental illness.
Learning Objectives

- Participants will be able to summarize what the research tells us about what causes change for clients in at least three instances.
- Participants will be able to identify three SFBT skills that they can immediately begin using with clients.
