SUMMARY:The Power of Apology Workshop (June) - 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

SUMMARY:Key Skills in Family Therapy with Dr Kate Owen and Dr Leonie White
DESCRIPTION:Would you like to work more confidently and effectively with clients? Do you know how to troubleshoot when treatment gets “stuck”? \nBook a seat today to develop your family therapy skills to a deeper level. \nThis two-day workshop is aimed at practitioners who work with children\, young people\, adults\, couples\, families\, and/or organisations supporting clients with mental health issues. This workshop aims to introduce participants to core Family Therapy concepts and broaden practitioners understanding of how to view “the client’s problem”\, as well as provide practical skills and interventions for use with the client groups with which they work\, built on theoretical constructs from systemic\, structural\, solution focused and narrative family therapy models to teach core thinking and interviewing skills in family therapy. It makes complex theory easy to grasp and the related techniques easy to implement. \nThe workshop is interactive\, dynamic\, experiential\, and self-reflective in nature. The presenters use a variety of teaching tools and modalities to enhance the learning experience\, make complex theory easy to grasp and the related techniques easy to implement. The presenters offer wise and compassionate guidance on everything from intake and assessment to treatment planning\, the nuts and bolts of specific interventions\, the nuances of establishing therapeutic relationships\, and how to troubleshoot when treatment gets “stuck”. Pre-readings and post-workshop resources are available for ongoing learning and interest. You will learn: \n\nTheoretical underpinnings of each of the major family therapy models\nHow to understand and effectively use key tools such as hypothesizing\, reframing\, circular questioning\, and genograms (as both an assessment and treatment tool)\nHow to engage all family members in therapy\nUnderstanding the presenting problem in a family context vs the identified patient\nUnderstanding the family life cycle\, influences of family origin and multigenerational patterns\nGuidelines for conducting assessment\, initial interviews\, therapy plans and termination of treatment\nUnpacking relationship issues and the influence of triangulation and alliances\nDemonstrations by experienced family therapists\n\nThis is essential training for any practitioner working with children and families ranging from Psychologists\, Psychiatrists\, Social Workers\, Clinical Counsellors\, Family Therapists\, Counsellors\, Child Protection and Disability Workers\, Guidance Officers\, Occupational Therapists\, Speech and Language Therapists\, Residential Care Workers and Foster Support Workers. By the completion of this workshop participants will have a family-focused lens in therapy and feel confident in conducting family therapy sessions or incorporating family therapy techniques into their current client interactions. Linking theory to practice features strongly throughout each component of the workshop\, as does developing practical skills to take away from the workshop. This two-day workshop has been delivered to government and non-government agencies across Queensland with consistently positive outcomes. \nDr. Kate Owen: BPsych (Hons)\, D.Psych (Clinical) Clinical Psychologist and Family Therapist Member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and the Australian Association of Family Therapy (AAFT). \nDr Leonie White: BPsych (Hons)\, Ph.D (Org Psych) Clinical Family Therapist Psychologist Member of the Australian Association of Family Therapy (AAFT). \nKate and Leonie specialise in child\, youth and family interventions with a background in Child and Youth Mental Health Services and Evolve Therapeutic Services.

SUMMARY:Solution Focused Brief Therapy with Michael Durrant
DESCRIPTION:Do you support complex clients with limited time? Do your clients focus on the problem rather than how to change?  Would you like to learn an efficient\, evidenced based approach to help clients move forward and reach their treatment outcomes? Book a seat today to add this valuable counseling approach to your toolbox. \nSolution 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 Australia’s leading international trainer of Solution Focused Brief Therapy. He is a psychologist and 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
