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.

So, here we have the roadmap for a solution-focused<br />

session. While it almost never unfolds as described in my<br />

experience, it does help us understand what we are aiming<br />

for in therapy.<br />

<strong>The</strong> great news is that you're not a therapist; you are a<br />

youth worker, whose job is entirely different. In terms of<br />

youth crises, you will be the first responder, requiring a<br />

distinct set of skills that bear huge similarities to those of<br />

the final carer. I often draw an analogy between the<br />

paramedic and the surgeon. <strong>The</strong>y possess similar skills and<br />

tools, but when you're lying by the side of the road, you<br />

want a paramedic.<br />

In the case of your young people, there will be numerous<br />

support services available, yet at the moment of crisis,<br />

there will be you. This presents us with an exciting<br />

opportunity to employ our solution-focused tools and<br />

deliver our clients in excellent condition to the longer-term<br />

'Problem Solvers’.
