Short story about why by Martin Oswin

Just wanted to share whyI want to start up!

A few years ago...

I started working in Accident and Emergency

Seeing people after they had attempted suicide by overdose...

I found it really, really, hard...Seeing the same people

who sometimes came back time and time again!

Watching them come back...

Losing what hope they had each time they overdosed

I felt helpless, trapped and afraid all the skills I had were useless.... I could not imagine how it felt to be

there feeling so bad...

Something had to change..

I started reading about the Solution Focused Approach pioneered by

Insoo Kim Berg and Steve DeShazer.

It made sense to me to ask what the Client wants or what their “best hopes” are..

After all you don’t do into a shop and have an hour discussing why you are hungry

when you have asked for a loaf of bread..

The Solution Focused Approach made sense to me an my clients

We talked about things getting better about how life would be if they got

what they needed to be happier or just to feel like they could survive.

Since then I’ve trained, got experienced and qualified so I can offer something back.

I’ve spent over 8 years studying and applying

this approach to mental health and crisis social

work...

Then I realised something else..

Solution Focused works for people not just when they are in a crisis

It’s a great tool for coaching, management and team facilitation

To get people moving in the same direction together

So I'd like to tell you a bit more about the skills I have and how you

can learn them too..

Come and talk to us
