| Solution
Focused Brief Counseling and Parent Consultation.
This experiential workshop is designed for both beginning and
experienced school counselors, mental health counselors, social
workers, psychologists, educators, other human service
professionals, and educators who want to learn an innovative
approach to empower their clients/consultees/students to
recognize and utilize their resources. This model uses a
systematic, five-step approach in which students/parents focus
on solutions rather than problems. They are encouraged to think
about times when their problems did not exist, and how these
times contributed to the absence of the problem, and how to
recreate such circumstances in their present situations. Focus
is on the students/parents strengths and abilities rather than
their weaknesses. Solutions are derived by the students/parents
themselves and therefore not only are they more involved in
their success, but the solutions fit their unique lifestyles.
Finally, because they find their own solutions that work, often
self-esteem is increased. With this emphasis of counseling on
solutions rather than problems, counseling becomes brief. |
