Description

A Solution Circle is a 30 minute creative Problem Solving Process for getting unstuck…Ideal for busy people! lt was designed by Marsha Forest & Jack Pearpoint. This is a short and powerful tool. It is effective in getting “unstuck” from a problem in life or work. Solution Circles are tools of “community capacity”. It assumes and demonstrates that nearby people – in any community or work place have the capacity to help – if asked. It requires a person to ASK – not an easy thing in our culture of privacy and “do it alone”. This tool puts all the values we espouse into practice and demonstrates that TOGETHER WE’RE BETTER.

Course Content

This can be introduced in a twilight, half day or even a full day workshop with individualised coaching. We will provide background context for this approach and will directly model the process with real live issues facing participants. So bring your most challenging concerns to this training.

The course answers the questions:

  • What to when you are stuck

  • Can we find an alternative to permanent exclusion or special unit or school placement?

  • Struggling with a child for whom praise is ineffective?

  • Feeling isolated in your responses to a child’s needs?

  • Worried about where your instinctive reactions are leading you?

  • Cannot seem to get any consensus view of a young person’s behaviour/needs amongst all the family and professionals involved – is everyone pulling in different directions?

We will cover:

  • Setting the tone

  • Background and detailed teaching of process

  • Inclusion values underpinning this work

  • Graphic and process facilitation skills

  • Processes modelled and opportunities to try process out with coaching

  • Practical setting up of insights and solutions circles

  • Lessons learned
