Solution-Focused Brief Counseling

"All of my counselors came to me to thank me for providing such an outstanding presenter. This very seldom occurs when staff development is offered. They also shared that they were going to view their job as counselors from a new perspective. Basically, I can summarize by saying that he was a HIT.  Thank you for working with me to locate such an outstanding presenter." – Karen M. Wood, Ed.D

This workshop focuses on practical, solution-oriented techniques that are easily implemented in the time-conscious school environment. Through the use of humor and energetic teaching, the presenter introduces participants to an efficient model of counseling designed to move students toward positive change.

Learning Objectives:
After attending this workshop, participants should be able to: 

  • Utilize language and a “yes-set” vocabulary to enhance student success.
  • Identify achievable student goals.
  • Enable students to identify their own solutions and facilitate change.
  • Immediately implement flexible solution-focused techniques.
  • Maximize the effectiveness of single counseling sessions.

About the Presenter:
Paul E. Barnes, Ph.D., LMHP works full-time at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, where he has served as an associate professor, counseling department chairperson, and as associate dean for the College of Education.
