This practical and strengths-based training introduces clinicians to Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), an evidence-based approach that emphasizes clients’ existing resources, strengths, and potential for change. Rooted in the belief that clients are the experts in their own lives, SFBT focuses on building solutions rather than analyzing problems. Participants will learn the core principles and structure of SFBT, including goal-setting, the use of scaling questions, and techniques for identifying exceptions and amplifying successes. The training will demonstrate how to apply SFBT across a range of clinical contexts to create forward momentum in a time-efficient, empowering way.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Describe the core philosophy and foundational techniques of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.
• Identify and apply key SFBT interventions, including scaling questions, miracle questions, and identifying exceptions.
• Describe how to implement a strengths-based, goal-oriented framework to support brief and effective clinical work with diverse clients.
