Workshop Aims

​This two-day workshop is intended specifically, to reduce further the suicide rate amongst clients/service users (SUs) and to act as a refresher course for the basic tools and techniques of the solution focused approach. Participants 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 specialized solution focused tools and techniques are learnt and practised at this two day workshop. These can be implemented immediately into participants’ practice.

About the Trainer

Picture
John Henden (from the UK) BA, RMN, Dip Couns (Univ of Bristol), MBACP FRSA John is an international trainer, author, therapist and performance coach. For over 20 years, he worked within UK NHS mental health services firstly as a practitioner, then as a manager, during a time of rapid change. John has a background in psychology, is a qualified counsellor and a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He is also a presenter at both the European Brief Therapy Association (EBTA) and Solutions in Organisations Link-up (SOL).

As a counsellor and therapist for individual work, John’s preferred approach is Solution Focused. He finds this approach applicable to the widest range of mental health problems, including chronic depression, relationship difficulties, alcohol dependency; and, of course, trauma survivors and suicide prevention. John has developed a special interest in two specialist areas. The first of these is Recovery from Severe Trauma & Stress. As a SF therapist he has worked successfully with many survivors of traumatic experiences such as armed robbery, near-death experiences, rape, road traffic accidents, sudden death and military combat. His book on the subject is: Henden, J. (2011). Beating Combat Stress: 101 Techniques for Recovery. Wiley-Blackwell.

His second specialist subject area is Suicide Prevention, and his earlier book on this subject which is now into its 4th printing, and is currently being translated into Japanese, is: Henden, J. (2008). Preventing Suicide: the Solution Focused Approach. John Wiley & Sons
