Rethink Formulation Half Day Face to Face Workshop

These workshops are for Practitioners and managers working with children and families in Newcastle on a statutory or early intervention basis.

ReThink Formulation is a key component of a Relational and Restorative Approach to Practice. When working with families, services can get into a pattern of assessments and short-term interventions that end when there have been improvements. However, families often need help again. Rethink Formulation uses an evidence-based model of case formulation to help us organise information and structure our conversations to reach a shared understanding of a family and their presenting issues, from which we can base our plans. This formulation can travel with the family into different services and should reduce the number of assessments they have by providing an effective way to analyse the information we already have about their strengths and needs. Rethinking what we know about a family, and what we then do with that knowledge, is key to working with that family in a restorative and sustainable way.

This is a half day of intensive coaching in the art of formulation. You will learn what the Rethink Formulation model is, the theory behind it, where else you might see the principles of formulation and be given the opportunity to practice the model, and consider how else the model may be used creatively in your practice with children and their families.
