| Outcome | At the completion of this workshop, participants will have: • Been provided with a range of immediately useful ideas for the use of the practice tools. • Had the opportunity to engage in practice opportunities to play with various cards. • Considered the client-directed philosophy behind the tools and the implications of this for the skills of pairing tools and questions. • Had opportunities to share and reflect on the creative possibilities for the use of the tools within their own practice. • Been introduced to the possibilities for creating their own tools and resources. |
| Testimonials | Some of the great feedback we received about this event: • Great presentation, inclusive learning environment and a good pace. I enjoyed the mix between small groups and the larger demonstrations. • I found that the practical demonstrations of how to use the resources really useful, I now have the confidence to use the cards with clients. • I loved that fact that we got to use a whole range of cards and seeing the practical examples of getting things put in practice. • Great facilitation, thank you very much for a fantastic workshop! • Learning all about the various cards and going through examples of how to use them, getting a chance “to do” rather than just listen assisted my learning and I will now be using these cards with my work. |
