Solution-Focused Modules
Edited by Richard Ryal. M.F.A.

These materials support:
Social workers, family therapists, mental health professionals, and case managers who work directly with children and their families.

Why they work:
Lesson-plan formats provide even novice caseworkers with skill building to develop strategies that support the client family today.
Lessons are based on each family’s specific needs with easy to download hand-out support materials.
Collaborative postures engage client families in becoming more capable as they become more proactive.

How they work:
Each lesson combines the caseworker’s skills with the inherent resources of the client family to create solutions to everyday challenges.
Each lesson calls on and fulfills strengths already in the family with the caseworker’s support.
