Interested in sharing and learning with Solution-Focused peers?

As the ASFA has grown to encompass all expressions of Solution-Focused practices, we thought it is time to expand the idea of peer supervision to ensure it is relevant to all Solution-Focused practices. Inline with that thinking the ASFA peer supervision will be called SF Collaboration!

SF Collaboration is an online group facilitated by ASFA, on the 1st Monday of each month at 7pm Sydney time.

It is a space for sharing Solution Focused conversations with likeminded peers to hone our Solution Focused language and shape our practice.

Join up today to get access to SF Collaboration!

Local Solution Focused groups

ASFA supports local "affiliate" groups. These groups of Solution-Focused practitioners provide opportunity for networking, support and seminars. The groups are most likely geographically defined; however, it would also be possible for a group to include SF practitioners working in a particular context. Details on affiliated groups HERE, but please also check our Events Page.

 

Name change to the ASFA

During the 2020 AGM members voted on a special resolution to change the name of the association to the Australasian Solution Focused Association in order to reflect the growing applications of Solution Focused approaches outside of Solution Focused Brief Therapy.

Our commitment

As the Australasian Solution Focused Association, we recognise and understand that there is a need for listening, healing, and reconciliation in the communities where we live and work. We are committed to journeying forward together and using our association to progress listening, healing, and reconciliation. We welcome opportunities to partner with Communities to achieve their best hopes. Our aims as an association are to be an inviting, culturally safe place where every person is valued and welcomed, and where we can story, walk, and learn together. We hope to achieve this by partnering with the people and Communities where we live and work, as well as using our platform and resources to promote authentic relationships and reconciliation. In our Aotearoa (New Zealand) context this means commitment to honouring and enacting Te Tiriti o Waitangi (Treaty of Waitangi)

ASFA Monthly Meetings

ASFA Members are invited to join us each month for a meeting which may include a presentation, case study, discussion, activity, group supervision, or just to hang out and chat.
