Description
Description: Agencies are under pressure to prove results, reduce dropout, and still stay human. In this practical and engaging session, Bob Bertolino outlines a strength-based framework that blends outcome monitoring, alliance feedback, cultural responsiveness, and the best available research. Drawing from real agency data, he shows how tracking client progress in real time can improve effectiveness, lower dropout, strengthen staff morale, and keep services focused on what actually works.
Syllabus Description: A Strengths-Based Therapy approach provides practitioners with essential principles and practices for improving effectiveness and outcomes with adolescents and families. Participants in this work-shop will be introduced to current research findings on effective practice and will learn key strategies to strengthen the therapeutic relationship and alliance, maximize client contributions to change, and respond efficiently to client progress. The strategies offered can be applied to a wide range of settings with a continuum of concerns.
Educational Objectives:
- Describe at least four key factors that research has identified as central to successful therapy and for the foundation of strengths-based therapy with adolescents and families.
- Describe two essential processes for eliciting, monitoring, and responding to client feedback to improve therapy outcomes.
