4.92 out of 5 

Do you want to work more confidently and effectively with families?

Do you know how to troubleshoot when treatment gets 'stuck'? 

Our ''flagship' workshop introduces participants to core Family Therapy concepts and broadens practitioners understanding of how to view 'the client’s problem', as well as providing practical skills and interventions to effectively engage individuals or families, no matter who or how many are in the room.

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 translate into actionable skills, designed to equip you with practical tools for immediate implementation.

The workshop has an exemplary track record amongst government and non-government agencies across Australia with consistently high reviews. Since launching in Brisbane in 2017, our Family Therapy training has consistently sold out each year and boasts a stellar customer rating of 4.92 out of 5 ⭐.

Who Should Attend?

This workshop is aimed at practitioners who work with children, young people, adults, couples, families, and/or organisations supporting clients with mental health issues.

This 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. 

On completion of this workshop you will have a family-focused lens in therapy and feel more confident in conducting family therapy sessions or incorporating family therapy techniques into your current practice.
