Join NMSCA and Dr. Russell A. Sabella for the annual NMSCA Conference addressing Solution Focused Brief Counseling.
Solution focused brief counseling (SFBC) is an elegant and powerful approach to helping students and other stakeholders make positive changes. Learn a practical approach that can be used in individual counseling, small groups, parent conferences, teacher consultations, classroom lessons, leadership, or program development. The SFBC approach helps students/parents build on their strengths and abilities as a way to more effectively and efficiently achieve, while overcoming weaknesses or deficits. This goal or action oriented model helps our students and families to feel more empowered to get back on track and have more problem free days.
