New Year, Fresh start
0
Hi team,
Hoping to re-engage with the website and the Staffordshire Community of Practice in 2010.
I'm sure that there is plenty of SFP activity going on. I hear snippets and anecdotes regularly and hope to start posting them for others to share.
As a start:
Curry nights (not always with curry!). Following agreat evening with carl Plant and Simon Bradshaw last week we are going to have a monthly socila where people can catch up on life and SFP. Very informal and not on a hospital site. Next night out will be Thursday 18th February in or around Stone Staffordshire. All welcome, please let us know if you're coming so that we can book a large enough table.
Recovery and SFP Based on work going back a good few years and invloving CHANGES, Michael Brazendale, James McAteer and a host of others I ran a workshop on Recovery and SFP in Hong Kong in December 2009. I will post the slides or a link to the conference website soon. I'm also working on a brief report on the visit.
Snakes & ladders. Simon Bradshaw and I were chatting before Xmas about different views progress for clients. We discussed the idea that progress isn't linear, set backs happen etc. Common sense and yet not alays obvious in solution focused conversations. We discussed the merits of usring a Snakes & Ladders metaphor. Some progress is faster (ladders & throwing 6's) and some slower (snakes and 1's) and yet we always get to the top of the board in the end. Maybe a bit Forrest Gump but has proved useful in a umberof therapy/supervision conversations.
Several more bits of news which are waiting for conformation and will be with you soon,
All the best and keep in touch,
Steve & team.
