Family Therapy Foundations: Philosophy, Frameworks and Contemporary Systemic Practice
Consolidate your self-paced online learning with a 4-day in-person or live-streamed workshop. For several decades ‘Introduction to Family Therapy’ was our flagship 4-day training. We are excited to present Family Therapy Foundations in a similar format, with four full days of training delivered by a group of Bouverie’s experienced Family Therapists/Trainers.
Family Therapy Foundations will introduce you to the field of family therapy, taking you from its origins in systemic thinking, through its different influences and conceptual developments, to its contemporary applications to enhance the well-being of individuals, families and communities.
This course reimagines The Bouverie Centre’s well-known Introduction to Family Therapy. The live option remains true to the traditional “Intro” delivering it in an engaging 4 day format. The live delivery parallels the eLearning package and is complimented by full access to these online modules.
The live training days cover all content; engagement with the eLearning modules is not required.
This course represents the culmination of decades of experience from the clinicians and academics at The Bouverie Centre and will be brought to life in the room by experienced family therapists.
