Problem Solving
Course Rationale
Those who have amassed a sizeable number of problems
may in addition to any compounding environmental factors, suffer
from deficits in the skills required to deal with problem situations.
Focussing on problem solving skills can have the effect of allowing
individuals to become more independent from the help of ‘problem
solving professions’ thus creating the potential for longer
term impact on the lives of individuals involved. This event provides
an overview of such an approach and some examples of how this can
be achieved.
Course Design
These courses introduce staff to a model of problem-solving
that has been developed from the early work of such author/practitioners
as Spivak and Shure and more recently Chris and Art Nezu. The model
is underpinned by the premise that to teach individuals who experience
difficulties in solving problems basic problem solving skills provides
ongoing skills for life which can be applied whatever the circumstances.
The event provides some examples of how this might be achieved.
Course Availability
This course is appropriate for any staff members
who are interested in gaining a broad overview of the problem solving
skills approach to those working with a range of populations. The
applied problem solving event can be used to develop this understanding
further in terms of practice development.
