Family or domestic homicide is an extreme form of domestic violence where a household member or significant other is murdered. Familial homicides can take several different forms including the murder of newborns, infants, siblings, children, parents, significant others, or other family members. Motivations for acts of family violence vary by the nature of the relationship between the perpetrator and victim (e.g., spouse-spouse, parent-child, or child-parent). Survivors impacted by the event are left to suffer grave consequences including serious trauma and the loss of a loved one. This half-day training course is designed to introduce attendees to the different manifestations of family homicide as well as its causes, consequences, and risk factors. Intervention, screening, and prevention strategies will also be discussed. Other topics discussed in this training will include adverse life experiences, psychiatric comorbidity, substance misuse, rumination, possessiveness, estrangement, abrupt life changes (e.g., job loss), self-regulation deficits, executive dysfunction, self-destructive behaviors, and humiliation to name a few. Relevant research findings and case studies will be presented throughout the workshop.

A study found a direct relationship between a child’s posttraumatic stress and high-conflict divorce. Solution-Focused Brief Therapy training offers therapists effective strategies to help families navigate and resolve conflicts. This program provides emerging trends in family therapy from passionate and dedicated instructors.
Jumpstart your knowledge with Solution-Focused Brief Therapy online training today. Scroll down for more details on how to earn the course effortlessly.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is becoming increasingly popular, especially as insurance companies place more and more restrictions and limitations on mental health treatment coverage. SFBT can also be an incredibly effective approach for work with families, especially since at the root of most family system dysfunction is a negative dynamic – or a “problem” that we can troubleshoot for a targeted solution to change the way the family system operates.
Please join us for a learning experience that will inform you how solution focused brief therapy (SFBT) can be used to effectively support and treat families. Discover this effective modality to move families out of problem focused, conflicted dynamics and into a future place when past conflict no longer impacts their daily lives. Learn specific and intentional interventions to deal with negative communication patterns. Discover the most effective way to use scaling, specifically to assess each member’s perspective on the family communication to move them into positive, solution focused interactions and healing.
In addition to the below Objectives, this course will also touch on the following:
- Describe the brief history of Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).
- Name the eight principles of SFBT.
- Describe the three-part SFBT skeleton.
- Identify which interventions and questions fit in the three parts of the skeleton.
- Learn and practice the nuances of language needed to effectively use SFBT with families.
- Name two ways that scaling and the use of visuals such as flip charts provide concrete interventions in family sessions.
- Identify two ways that working with a color-coded scaling system is beneficial to track progress when using SFBT with families.
- Define and describe “The trifecta” and resources that are specific to the importance of it in SFBT family treatment.

Objectives:
This training will provide participants clinical knowledge and tools to:
a). After completing this training, participants will be able to state the difference between problem solving and solution building, specifically when working within a family system and define the family system within the SF model.
b). After completing this training, participants will be able to identify at least two interventions and questions in SFBT that can be used as specific interventions when working with challenging family dynamics.
c). After completing this training, participants will be able to describe two ways that relational questions support an intentional approach to assess and improve communication between family members.
