Marianne Roessler and Wolfgang Gaiswinkler about their solution-focused work in child protection services. In today’s episode, we talk with Dr. Marianne Roessler and Wolfgang Gaiswinkler, solution-focused practitioners, organizational consultants, social researchers, supervisors, trainers, and founders of Netzwerk O’ST about how social workers and child protection services can support change in a hoped-for direction. Learn what differences solution focus makes for their work and what is special when using solution focus in Child Protection Services. Find out how to address your own necessities and worries as a solution-focused practitioner in the professional role and the different implications of the words „problem“ and „worries“ have. Be inspired on how to privilege the ideas of the family and learn more about the importance of making statements and of mapping out all the different points of view. Find out how to elicit exceptions and what the principle „If it ain't broken, don’t fix it“ can also mean. Enjoy listening to some lovely stories about Insoo Kim Berg & Steve de Shazer. And check out the challenge of the week, thinking about things that are not working well in a solution-focused way.
