This 3-day practical, practice focused workshop will introduce attendees to key systemic practice ideas, skills and techniques which we can all use in our day-to-day work with children and families. Each day will provide attendees with some systemic theory with practical examples of how these ideas can then be used with children, young adults and families.
This course will be an opportunity to meet practitioners from different parts of the service, learning together and trying and experimenting with new ideas and approaches.
Day 1 – What goes on in families?
Day 2 – How we work with families?
Day 3 – Working with risks and networks
Who is this course for? This course is open to all staff who work either with or supervise practitioners who work directly with children, young adults or families. No previous experience of systemic practice ideas or theories is required – but you are of course most welcome if you have accessed systemic training in the past.
This course sits alongside and compliments the STAR programme and is a key component of our practice model.
