Why SBFT?

Strategic Brief Family Therapy is a highly effective, solution-oriented approach that helps families address specific challenges by disrupting dysfunctional patterns, enhancing communication, and fostering collaboration. Rooted in systems theory and brief therapy principles, SBFT focuses on measurable, impactful results in fewer sessions, making it an invaluable tool for clinicians working with families experiencing complex dynamics.


What You’ll Learn

This dynamic, hands-on workshop will provide:

  1. Foundational Knowledge: A clear understanding of SBFT principles and their application in diverse settings.
  2. Intervention Techniques: Practical tools like reframing, circular questioning, and task assignments to promote immediate change.
  3. Case-Based Learning: Real-world case studies to illustrate how SBFT can address common family issues such as parent-child conflicts, school refusal, and co-parenting challenges.
  4. Systems Thinking: Strategies for recognizing and disrupting patterns that perpetuate family dysfunction.


Who Should Attend?

This workshop is ideal for clinicians working with families, including social workers, counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists. Whether you’re experienced in family therapy or exploring it for the first time, this training will equip you with actionable skills to enhance your practice.

At the SWEET Institute, we believe in empowering clinicians to foster meaningful change—one family at a time. Join us for this transformative workshop and elevate your practice!
