Empower Change: Master the Art of Solution-Focused Conversations with SFBT Training

Join us in Sudbury, Ontario, on June 19-20, for an immersive 2-day training program designed to equip you with practical, client-centered tools to foster meaningful change in less time.

Compared to other therapies, SFBT concentrates on finding solutions in the present and exploring one’s hope for the future in order to find a quick and pragmatic resolution of one’s problems. Learn how to focus on solutions rather than problems, empowering your clients to uncover strengths and achieve their goals efficiently.

Whether you’re new to Solution-Focused Brief Therapy or looking to refine your skills, this training will transform your approach to client care.
Our expert-led sessions are designed to provide hands-on practice, proven techniques, and the confidence to apply SFBT in real-world settings. Be the first in Canada to experience learning from world-renowned experts in the field, Elliott Connie and Adam Froerer.

The Experts:

Elliott Connie is an accomplished psychotherapist and a leading voice in the field of solution-focused brief therapy. He’s been credentialed since 2006 and been in private practice since 2008. He has a Bachelor degree in Psychology and a Master’s of Science in Professional Counseling. He has worked alongside some of the most prominent figures in the SFBT field. Additionally, Elliott has lectured all over the United States as well as internationally, in places such as the United Kingdom, Russia, India, and Australia.

Adam Froerer, Ph.D., LMFT is the Director of Research and Training for the Solution-Focused Universe (SFU). Adam previously worked for 11 years as a university professor, teaching and training students to be Marriage and Family Therapists and Clinical Psychologists. After leaving academia, Adam shifted his focus to teaching and training professionals from around the world on how to study and master Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). Adam’s research has focused on how change happens in therapeutic conversations and on broadening the evidence-base of SFBT. Adam has authored several peer-reviewed journal articles and three books about SFBT. Adam’s most important roles are being a husband to Becca, and a father to three wonderful kids.

Adam and Elliott founded the Solution-Focused Universe (SFU), the largest solution-focused training institute in the world. Through live and online courses and training, they train approximately 15,000 individuals annually. The SFU also houses the largest library of solution focused training material available. Because this work is so important to them, and because they want to make sure this approach gets out to the whole world, they are also behind the training institute that provides the most free content in the world.
