Overview

Families are supported by two experienced Solution Focused Practitioners.

Family Based Solutions (FBS) uses the Solution Focused Approach when working with families.  This way of working looks at the families’ strengths and when the problem is absent or less severe.

The family is in the role of the expert rather than the facilitator as only they understand the problems and challenges, they face daily.  The very first meeting begins with what the families will see as their preferred outcome from the work.  The preferred outcome is then worked towards by the whole family in small manageable steps.

The approach is very much a collaboration working with the families on targets that matter to them rather than being directive and forced.

The work continues while there are positive improvements, and the meetings are tapered off to bi-weekly then monthly.

Sessions are run weekly or fortnightly and there is no fixed number of sessions.
