This package includes the Building Skills in High-Risk Families manual, plus nearly two hours of video that dramatically illustrate the powerful techniques presented in the book. The videos are packed with realistic demonstrations by family preservation consultants of techniques used in a variety of family settings.

You’ll see 13 practitioner skills in action that build relationships, minimize resistance, and keep treatment focused on the family’s goals. The videos show how to set clear and measurable goals, employ specific interventions to increase family strengths, and monitor the results. Intervention techniques demonstrated on the video include using metaphors, active listening, circular refocusing, confrontation, role playing, and crisis intervention, among others.
