This workshop will provide knowledge that will assist social workers to solve therapeutic and interpersonal problems they confront every day in practice. It will provide tools to enhance the effectiveness of social work interventions, particularly when working with clients who have experienced trauma.

The Marte Meo Program was developed by Maria Aarts in the late 1970’s in the Netherlands, and is now established in over 40 countries. The program provides a practical approach to supporting development through relationships in everyday communication.

Half day workshop offers how to write best practice reports.

New and experienced supervisors who want to encourage reflection and professional growth in their supervisees will benefit from this course.

This workshop will explore the focused psychological strategies of relaxation, mindfulness, guided visualisation and positive self talk. These strategies are intervened within various psychotherapeutic modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy.

This one day workshop is for new and advanced supervisors to refresh their own ability to reflect within a busy and complex environment and to consolidate their ability to be present and responsive to the supervisee.

It will include ideas to support supervisors in guiding their own supervisees in bringing themselves and their professional dilemmas to meetings

Sex, sexuality and relationships are areas of client identity that social workers often feel uncomfortable discussing. Drawing from the presenter’s own research and scholarship in this area, this workshop will equip practitioners to have conversations with clients about intimate relationships, sex and sexuality. Learning outcomes include:

• gaining knowledge about human sexual response, desire and sexual ‘problems’;
• learning how to have conversations with clients about sexuality, sex and their intimate relationships;
• learn about the key theoretical perspectives around human sexuality including sexual identity.

Open only to AASW members.
