SUMMARY:Solution Focused Brief Therapy\, Townsville
DESCRIPTION:Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) offers professionals an efficient\, user-friendly and evidenced based approach that is responsive to the practical realities of working with young people and adults. The role of counsellors\, and other professionals rests largely on the ability to interact with people in ways that emphasises individuals’ strengths/ resources\, identifies possible solutions and supports movement to change. \nWith an emphasis on “what works”\, SFBT focuses on the reality that change is the name of the game. It’s used with clients with anxiety\, depression\, trauma\, disruptive behaviours and a host of other emotional and well-being issues. This popular workshop offers a thorough overview of the approach and covers cases from substance abuse\, trauma\, mental health\, child and adolescent difficulties. \nYou will learn: \n\nWhy the fundamental shift from “problem-driven” to “solution-driven” can dramatically change the outcome of any interaction.\nHow to use cooperative relationships and an individual’s language\, beliefs and preferences to define changeable problems\, and develop highly meaningful and specific goals.\nWhen and how to use a range of techniques and tools; through detailed demonstrations\, skills practice exercises\, discussions and video examples of ACTUAL therapy sessions.\nHow the use of “future-focused” questions\, building on exceptions and reframing of problems\, shifts people away from the problem and towards change.\nWhat the theoretical and philosophical underpinnings of the approach are\, and why the resilience research supports it.\nWhy presenting ideas and interventions as “suggestions” and “experiments” instead of directives can improve the likelihood of clients taking action once they leave your office.\nHow issues such as “risk” fit with the Solution-Focused approach.\n\nMichael Durrant is a psychologist and Australia’s leading international trainer of Solution Focused Brief Therapy. He is director of the Brief Therapy Institute in Sydney\, President of the Australasian Association for Solution-Focused Brief Therapy\, Honorary Associate to the Faculty of Education and Social Work – University of Sydney\, and a visiting faculty\, to the Special Education Program – Fontys University\, The Netherlands. He has published four books and numerous articles\, and is particularly known for the application of Solution-Focused interventions in school and mental health contexts. \n

SUMMARY:Workshop: Therapeutic case management for clients who have experienced complex trauma
DESCRIPTION:2016 Professional Development Workshop Series\n\nEarly literature related to trauma-informed practice emphasised the importance of getting the balance right between the personal and the political (Herman;1992).  Following Herman’s seminal work\, there has been a dearth of literature written regarding trauma-informed practice. With all the new trauma tools and methods on offer\, it can sometimes be hard for practitioners to ensure that the personal is balanced with the political; to ensure that people’s experience of injustice and inequality gets heard\, and that practice is aligned with trauma-informed principles. By examining trauma-informed practice\, this workshop will provide participants with ways of remaining in between these principles in your work with clients that present with a complex trauma background. This workshop will explore why maintaining this balance is crucial for these clients\, and offer practical ways to get this balance right. \nOutcomes\nParticipants will be provided with the following. \n\nA process that assists them to articulate their own theory of knowledge and how this relates to their practice in working with clients who have experienced complex trauma.\nA model that will assist them to remain equidistant in their practice to all trauma-informed principles.\nTheory and practice methods for combining case management with therapeutic practice for clients who present with complex and multiple needs.\nPractice considerations for working with family experiences of clients who present with complex and multiple needs.\n\nIdeal for\nCase managers\, counsellors\, clinicians\, social workers\, psychologists\, allied health workers. \nAbout the presenters\nEmily McDonald\, Manager Practice Development at Relationships Australia Victoria (RAV)\, is a mental health social worker with a Masters in Family Therapy. She has a clinical background working with individuals\, couples and families in therapeutic\, case management and project roles for over 20 years. \nJulia Douglas is a social worker with 20 years’ experience in direct service delivery\, management and training in the mental health and complex needs sector. Julia coordinates RAV’s Therapeutic Case Management Programs. \n\n\nContact\nRAV Training\n\nContact Number\n(03) 9261 8702\n\nLocation\n1183 Toorak Road\, Camberwell\, VIC 3124\n\nDates\n\n\n\nStarts 10:00am Thursday 20 October 2016\n\n\n\n\nFrequency of sessions\nOne session from 10am to 4pm.\n\nPricing\n$250 including GST.\n\nOther Information\n\nFully catered. \n\n\nCourse Brochure\nDownload Brochure\n\n\nFor more information\, visit: http://www.relationshipsvictoria.com.au/training/training/course/124/11 \n

SUMMARY:The Power of Apology Workshop (Oct) – Wollongong\, NSW
DESCRIPTION:Relationship Education and Therapeutic Group Work frequently focuses on developing communication and conflict management skills. But as Group Facilitators\, we have often had limited training to enable participants to experience healing in their ongoing relationships\, when core attitudes and actions of their loved ones cut into their souls and deeply wound them. \nThis workshop is a meaningful and personally enriching one\, created for YOU\, the Facilitator! Heather will guide you on your own personal exploratory journey so that by the end of the 2-days you will be equipped to utilise these powerful exercises with your group work participants. \nTwo concepts will be discussed to help us discover where our hurts may be coming from. “Soul Wounds” are a way to describe how situations hook into childhood scars or beliefs and we will look at these intense\, often unexpected and idiosyncratic reactions in terms of “Emotional Allergies”. \nForgiveness and making sincere apologies are essential ingredients in intimate\, casual and professional relationships. ‘Sorry’ certainly DOES seem to be the hardest word!  But often the “sorry” seems to inflame rather than resolve the issue.  A major reason is that we are speaking an apology language that does not seem genuine or sufficient to the offended party. These five Languages of Apology – Expressing Regret\, Accepting Responsibility\, Making Restitution\, Genuine repentance and Requesting forgiveness will be explored and experimented with. Participants will have the opportunity to discover their Language of Apology and work out ways of calibrating their apology so that it is effectively received. \nTo fully experience the power of genuine apology and forgiveness\, a plan and process of forgiveness will be presented to enable those hard\, ongoing conflicts and deep hurts to be finally put to rest. \nLearning Outcomes:\nAt the end of this course\, participants will be able to: \n\n appreciate the relevance and importance of restorative relationship work in group practice.\nunderstand some theoretical underpinnings and research from leaders in this field (e.g. Gary Chapman and John Gottman’s work).\nutilise powerful healing exercises for themselves and their group participants regarding soul wounds and emotional allergies.\nidentify and utilise the 5 key Languages of Apology.\nincrease awareness and develop strategies for enabling people to be constructive with themselves and each other when their core attitudes collide.\ndevelop a plan and process of forgiveness that enables growth and healing within oneself and within close relationships.\n\n
