Preventing Suicide Using the Solution Focused Approach

An interactive training that will focus on the practical side of preventing suicide using the Solution Focused Approach.

Over 600 New Zealanders take their lives every year, with countless more experiencing suicidal ideas or acting on these thoughts in the form of non-fatal suicide attempts.

Following the phenomenal success of his previous face-face workshops with over 900 participants attending across NZ, John Henden is back to present this one-day workshop in Auckland on Preventing Suicide Using the Solution Focused approach. This workshop is intended specifically, to reduce further the suicide rate amongst clients/service users (SUs) and to act as a refresher workshop for the basic tools and techniques of the SFBT model. Attendees will be provided with a unique approach to the SU who is having suicidal ideas, which both reduces the likelihood of further suicidal thinking and, at the same time, reduces the sense of burden on the health professional. A range of specialised SF tools and techniques are taught and practiced at this workshop. These can be implemented immediately into participants’ daily practice.
