Systemic Thinking Series

Our Systemic Thinking Series is designed to be completely self-paced and is completed asynchronously through our learning portal for CE Credit Hours.

• What is social ecology?
• What it means to be relational.
• How to view individuals within their family’s culture.
• The importance of being strength-based, context sensitive, trauma-informed, and developmentally appropriate.
• Why it is beneficial to see families as their own best resource for change.
• How to help them find hope rather than becoming dependent on professionals.

Family System Series

The Family System Series is self-paced and completed asynchronously through our learning portal for CE Credit Hours. This certificate delves into systemic intervention specifics and teaches professionals how to create feedback loops to ensure they are doing what is best for their clients and families. Key learning points include:

• Value and use of deliberate practice.
• Using family assessment tools to foster joining, reframing, enacting and anchoring.
• Using the modified family assessment form for data-driven treatment planning.
• Understanding the enactment scale to foster deliberate practice.
• Distinguishing between second-order change and first-order change to unbalance structures collaboratively and meaningfully.

Systemic Family Therapy Certification

Our Systemic Family Therapy Certification builds on the foundational skills developed in our previous two certificates. This year-long program requires a monthly commitment and features group supervision led by our expert faculty. Throughout the certification process, you will refine your clinical abilities as a systemic family therapist, with a focus on applying Ecosystemic Structural Family Therapy principles.

Your growth will be supported through a measurement-based training approach, which includes a pre- and post-knowledge assessment and a personalized learning contract to guide your development. Individual and group supervision will incorporate session recording reviews, utilizing therapist scales to provide constructive feedback. Your progress will culminate in a competency project, serving as a tangible marker of your growth and expertise.

Systemic Family Therapy Certification for Supervisors

For those seeking to advance their supervisory expertise, the Systemic Family Therapy Certification for Supervisors focuses on applying systemic family therapy principles isomorphically within the supervision process. This program emphasizes the use of family assessment tools to enhance case conceptualization, therapist scales to deliver constructive, growth-oriented feedback during session recording reviews, and the integration of deliberate practice techniques.

The program offers a blend of synchronous and asynchronous learning opportunities, providing a flexible yet comprehensive approach to developing your supervisory skills.

Systemic Family Therapy Certification for Trainers

The Systemic Family Therapy Certification for Trainers is accessed by invitation only.
