Solution Focused Possibilities

Fred is a Registered Mental Health Nurse and Senior Lecturer at the University of the West of England. In this episode we chat about many of Fred's passions and concerns including the 'climate catastrophe' his love for the solution focused approach and many other things that, as per usual, could keep us talking for hours. Enjoy.

We haven't been together for out podcast for a while so we thought we'd take this episode to catch up on the new course we're running and what we are learning from it ourselves.  Jamie also asks the team whether planning a course has unique struggles to Solution Focused practitioners who may naturally prefer the people they are working with steer the direction of travel. We also celebrate our 1000 download this week and as a thanks to our listeners we have a little give away. 

This week, we took some time to catch up with a good friend of ours Harvey Ratner from BRIEF.  This really is just a group of friends chatting together (which really isn't ‘brief' at all) so we'd love you to grab a cuppa and hang out with us too. 

In today's episode we talk to Dr Sarah Northcott about her research using SF with stroke patients and what we can learn from it in our day to day work.  We're missing Greg on this episode in case you're wondering why there are no in - house disagreements!

We also announce a brand new course that helps practitioners develop their skills and pass their UKASFP accreditation! www.sfpossibbilities.org  

A poorly kept secret can now finally be revealed - we've written a book! In this episode we'll chat about the process, why we've written it and what we hope for it to achieve.   We also have a conversation about what we've learnt from the process itself and how it will impact our work going forward. As always, keep up to date with us at www.sfpossibilities.org

Considering everything that's going at the moment, we didn't think it would be right to ignore it and carry on as normal.  So whilst we're not experts in this, we do have some thoughts about the Solution Focused approach and how it may or may not relate to diversity and social justice.  We hope you enjoy the conversation and feel free to let us know your perspectives too.
