The Core Skills in Family Therapy Course provides the opportunity for health professionals interested in family therapy to upskill and for more experienced clinicians to further develop their competence in systemic family therapy. 

The emphasis in the 6 Modules in systemic family therapy is on the acquisition of knowledge, skills and attitudes that are relevant to high-quality family intervention practices.  A strong theoretical framework underpins the 6 Modules in systemic family therapy. This is reflected in the content and format within the short courses.  Students will be introduced to the core ideas and skills of family theory and review the major models of contemporary family therapy. 

Course content includes:

• Using Genograms in Family Therapy
• Family Assessments
• Structural Family Therapy and Solution Focused Family Therapy
• Milan Systemic Therapy
• Family Systems Theory and Narrative Therapy
• Evidence-Based Models of Family Therapy (Attachment Based Family Therapy; Multi-Systemic Family Therapy; Functional Family Therapy; Maudsley Family Based Treatment).

The course is self-paced and includes presentations, video demonstrations, reflective tasks, readings and relevant resources. 
It is equivalent to 60 CPD hours. Each module provides a theoretical overview of family therapy practice guidelines and an introduction to contemporary family therapy models. Modules include self-directed learning tasks, readings, quizzes and access to online video examples.

The course is endorsed by The Australian Counselling Association (ACA), The Australian College of Mental Health Nurses (ACMHN), the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) and The Australian Community Workers Association (ACWA).
