Working with at-risk families, and supporting other professionals who do, has always been a particularly rewarding aspect of my practice. There is a great deal at stake as there is no doubt in my mind that the ideal solution for the children is to achieve an outcome where they can be safely cared for in their own home, keeping the family intact.
One of the first hurdles to working effectively with at-risk families is minimisation, by the adults, of the concerns that have brought (or may bring) the family to the attention of child protection authorities. This, in turn, can result in the adults being resistant to accepting, and/or dismissive of, well-intentioned and needed support and guidance.
In this two-hour online workshop I share an approach which lays the foundations for meaningful engagement and change, by regulating shame.
The format for delivery includes:
- verbal content
- video demonstrations of the theoretical content
- structured reflections
At the conclusion of the workshop participants will have a framework for establishing an effective working alliance with at-risk families in support of better outcomes for all members.
The workshop is suitable for professionals who work with at-risk families (eg social workers, psychologists, community health nurses, family support workers, youth workers).
