A look at how the Solution Focused approach is being used in New Zealand within police working with young offenders. This session will include brief case studies and ideas around bringing other staff and professionals on board with the Solution Focused approach.A Youth worker trained in social work, solution focused coaching and therapy.

Registered psychologist since 1996. First learned about the Solution Focused approach in 2010 and have been a passionate advocate ever since.
