About this course: A training day available to all CADS staff who want to build their skills in working with family members, either in their own right or in conjunction with their substance using relative.
SSFC training is especially suited to practitioners working in adult mental health and addictions services, where the service user is typically seen on their own. This is because the SSFC process is designed to help practitioners make the shift from individual to family/whānau engagement in a manner that does not threaten the practitioner’s existing relationship with the service user. It is important to remember that facilitating a single session consultation, which may include children and other family members, is about engaging with the family and problem solving, rather than family therapy.
SSFC training is also useful for practitioners working with infants, children and young people. While many practitioners often work with parents, caregivers, whānau and children, SSFC provides a framework for involving other family members such as a non-custodial or separated parent, grandparents, aunts and uncles, or anyone that the service user, or in the case of younger children, their parents want to include. SSFC can help to guide the conversation about who to involve, in what timeframe and what will be discussed in the session.
