The Brief Therapy Toolkit Ebook V9
Welcome to the "Brief Therapy Toolkit" eBook. This book is crafted as a concise reference guide, complementing my training course under the same title. My goal is to distill the powerful principles of solution-focused brief therapy and tailor them specifically for you, the youth worker. By deconstructing the methodology, we aim to reconstruct it in a manner that transitions seamlessly from the therapy room to your youth club, school, or children's home. As a youth worker, you are often the first point of contact in times of crisis. Armed with these tools, you will gain confidence in your approach and be better equipped to make a difference.

to prompt, clarify, or ask questions of the client. Like some<br />
therapeutic version of deal or no deal. <strong>The</strong>re have been<br />
many takes on the intervention and the task setting, but in<br />
general, if you worked in the environments I did, and most<br />
of you do, you will be alone in a room with the client.<br />
Maybe, as in the story I told earlier, my intervention break<br />
was taken on the stairs of a youth club. In some instances,<br />
you could go up to the team room and discuss the case with<br />
co-workers. Either way, it's a time to gather thoughts and<br />
summarize the case for yourself. So when you're ready,<br />
then you can return to the room with a task in mind, but<br />
before you introduce the task, you need to clarify the<br />
situation. That means going back into the room and saying,<br />
"Okay, let me be sure I understand you correctly, mum,<br />
what I seem to be hearing you say is… etc. Get agreement<br />
from the individuals and ensure that they are happy you<br />
fully understand and have listened to them all. This is vital<br />
before you start to introduce the task. <strong>The</strong> task will be your<br />
intervention that the family can implement between now<br />
and the next session. <strong>The</strong> task should be clear and concise<br />
(can you put it in a wheelbarrow?) and if it’s imaginative<br />
and small, then all the better. It is also better to ask the<br />
client to do something and not to stop doing something.
