Dr. Ron Warner, along with our very own Dina Bednar are co-directors of this program which is certified through the Canadian Council of Professional Certification. Housed in the University of Toronto's OISE- Continuing Education, this program leads those looking for a better understanding of SFBT to see the myriad ways it can be used from the module on Basic Skills, Crisis Management, Couple and Family Work, Working with Children and Adolescents, and more. The Certificate Program culminates in a practicum module as well as a case presentation. We invite you to take a first hand look by clicking on the video link below to see both the program as well as what past students have said about it.
Using Solution Focused Therapy when working with Addictions
We are thrilled to introduce a new workshop delivered by Adam Busch. For more information please contact us!
Solution-Focused Therapy is an evidence-based form of psychotherapy in the area of addiction, and has been recognized by SAMHSA NREEP – the Substance Abuse Mental Health Service Administration’s National Registry for Evidence-based Programs and Practices in the USA.This workshop is for counsellors, therapists, and other clinical staff who work with populations who struggle with addictions, whether to substances or processes such as internet use. The workshop will provide an overview of the solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) approach, with specific emphasis on how it can be effectively and credibly used with addictions, in both individual and group therapy practice. The workshop is designed so that learners leave with practical skills ready to implement with populations dealing with these issues.
