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

SUMMARY:Distressed or Deliberately Defiant? with Dr Judith Howard
DESCRIPTION:We’ve all experienced the annoyance of having to deal with poor behaviour in our schools and classrooms.  Does your school have students that… \n\nCan be verbally and physically aggressive for little reason.\nMay fly into behavioural outbursts with little warning and as a result of no clear triggers.\nYou may suspect or know they have or had a problematic home environment.\nYou just can’t seem to get through to them – or when you do – they tend to sabotage the relationship.\nYour “tried and true” behaviour support techniques just don’t seem to work and they can end up being withdrawn from class activities\, removed from class\, suspended or even excluded.\nYour “gut instinct” seems to tell you that there is something that is just not quite right with these kids!\n\nEvery so often though\, particular students can present as exceptionally difficult to manage.  These kids are not your usual behaviour support cases – there is something more complex underlying their situations and they present quite serious challenges to our schools. \nGrounded in attachment theory and neuroscience research\, this seminar will explore why these children and young people often defy rules and authority\, can sabotage even the most supportive of relationships and can continually put themselves at-risk. Participants will explore the reasons why students who have experienced trauma and a poor attachment to their primary caregiver/s in early childhood – behave in the way they do in primary and secondary school.  They will also examine why our “usual” or ”traditional” behaviour management systems have so little impact on these behaviours (or even sometimes make things worse)! Helpful behaviour support approaches\, strategies\, and resources will be provided and discussed. \nThis is a “must do training” for all school personnel who work with students with extreme and challenging behaviour\, who have suffered trauma and maltreatment. Professionals who receive referrals from schools to assist with difficult students\, will also find this training valuable in understanding the challenges teachers/schools face and the effective strategies that can be used to co-manage behaviour and support out of school therapeutic interventions. \nDr Judith Howard is a senior lecturer and researcher with the Queensland University of Technology. She also has an extensive history with the State Education System in Queensland during which she has worked as a teacher\, a school counsellor\, a child and adolescent behaviour specialist and has held both Regional and State positions overseeing behaviour support processes in Qld schools.  Dr Howard has a passion for educating educators and other professionals from government and non-government agencies who are involved in the support of children and young people presenting with challenging school behaviour. She is particularly focused on the concerns of students from attachment/trauma histories. In 2013 she published the highly acclaimed book Distressed or Deliberately Defiant? \n
