Class 2 – 1:00pm- 5:00pm

Solution Focused Brief Therapy and its uses in Treating Trauma (4 CEUs, Trauma)

Solutions-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) principles have been used to effectively treat a wide range of problems. SFBT has applications that are even effective in working with victims of trauma. Unlike classical psychotherapists, SFBT practitioners don’t go looking at a client’s past to search for the root of the problem. Instead they ask a series of questions. They help their clients find out what is going right and build on those successes. In fact SFBT may have a lower likelihood of re-traumatizing clients than other therapy methods. 

This interactive training will familiarize you with the principles of SFBT and help you understand the implications of this highly effective therapy in working with clients including those who have a history of trauma. (Trainer, Jeffrey Davidson, LCSW-C, LICSW, Director CE You!)

This Seminar consist of two trainings totaling 6 CEUs and costing $99. Participants can attend the morning class only  (2 CEUs) for $49 or the afternoon class (4 Trauma CEUs)  for $59. Refreshments served throughout the day are included. Groups of 3 or more only pay $89 per person for the full seminar.
