Collaborative Helping A Practice Framework for Family-Centered Services

Across North America, services for families are undergoing profound changes. Practitioners are searching for effective models to develop strength-based, culturally responsive, empowering partnerships with families. In this 90-minute webinar, Dr. William Madsen offers a flexible practice framework to put family-centered principles into action in the everyday "messiness" of this work.

Drawing on Appreciative Inquiry, Motivational Interviewing, and narrative and solution-focused therapies, Dr. Madsen will highlight a five-step practice framework to help families envision desired lives, address long-standing problems, and develop proactive coping strategies in the context of their local communities.

This introductory webinar is designed to help mental health clinicians:

1. Describe at least one principle of family-centered family therapy treatment.
2. Explain a motivation interviewing strategy to use with family treatment.
3. List the five-step practice framework to help families envision desired lives, address problems, and develop coping strategies.
4. Apply strategies to help families envision their desired lives.
