Solution Focused Brief Therapy

This Solution-Focused Brief Therapy Moodle Course is intended for School-Based Mental Health professionals who are providing direct mental health services to students. There are many different clinical mental health models that can be used in schools, all of which need to be adapted for appropriate application within the school setting.  School-based mental health services need to fall within the scope of the IDEA and ECEA regulations and need to meet the definition os school-based counseling, which is different than clinical mental health counseling.  The first module of this course will cover the difference between school-based mental health services and clinical mental health services. 

This Moodle course on Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) will set the foundation between clinical mental health services and school mental Health services. An overview of Brief Solution-Focused therapy will be provided, including how to adapt this model for appropriate school-based application. 

Participants will be introduced to the basic concepts and skills used in Brief Solution-Focused therapy and will have the opportunity to apply some of the aspects of Brief Solution-Focused therapy.
