In advance of a series of workshops for education professionals, Fania Pallikarakis, a Solution Focus Practitioner and Coach, shares a bit more about how Solution Focus can help people working with children, as it is still a little known approach in Greece.

In brief, Solution Focus is an approach based on specific principles and tools to help people talk in a different way than usual in our everyday conversations. The framework it sets for these discussions helps to shift attention from problems to solutions, from despair to hope and from deficits to resources. As a result, people can reach more clarity, create more options for themselves, become more aware of their strengths and move more quickly towards how they would like things to be.
