For schools Our Solution Focused Approach training equips both teaching and support staff with skills that help children achieve their potential in the classroom and provides an effective intervention for Pastoral Support Staff. This training has been used successfully to create a behaviour management strategy within the whole school, encouraging a mindset of "catching pupils doing something right". Within Family Support and Adult Social Care Our Solution Focused Approach training prepares staff in their work to strengthen family units, providing both short-term training as an "extra tool in the toolbox" and the wider, whole-team framework The Prevention & Intervention Programme to reduce the numbers of children and young people entering the care system under Section 20 . . For Health Our specialist Solution Focused Approach programmes provide staff with real skills and frameworks to work more effectively with patients with Mental Health to improve self-management and within Drug & Alcohol Recovery. Youth Offending & Early Intervention Programmes These Solution Focused Approach programmes are fit for purpose for use by Schools, YOT Teams and Police & Community Groups. The main principle of our work and our main message when training staff and volunteers is to be "curious" - not about times when the client fails, or when the problem is presenting most, but curious about "times when the problem is less" or "times when the client "deals/copes with the problem differently". The purpose of the Solution Focused Approach is not to dismiss the problem but to help the client move forward with any small, existing, successful strategy: change is made easier to achieve when we start with some experience of success and it is the professional's curiosity for the client's experience of success and curiosity about the emotional and physical benefits once change has been achieved or problems have resolved that can help clients begin to move from tracing the pathology of the problem to looking at and talking about tomorrow. This is as applicable when you are talking to a pupil about a time when they study well, to a family about when they work better together, to a client who is struggling with anxiety and stress, no matter how small or fleeting that exception isit provides a healthy starting place for the move forward. The outcomes of our Solution Focused Approach training is that staff feel equipped with the confidence and skills to work collaboratively with the client - the expert, after all, on what works for them; what worked a little in the past; what might work a little in the future.The principles of all of our work are based on the belief that it is the individual who is the expert of their lives and therefore it is essential to harness that expertise as a crucial part of any intervention with the individual. We provide training courses that equip individuals and teams to work collaboratively with the client to achieve best outcomes for the client. These models include Solution Focused Brief Therapy (de Shazer '85 Optima Communication Skills (Murphy '08) the resources and visuals of the Examine, Repair & Move On Approach (Murphy '93) which Eileen Murphy first devised when working with challenging young people in 1993. These simple effective tools offer the client the opportunity to identify the change that needs to happen and design who can do what to help change take place.
