This suite of workshops offers quality time for reflection, discussion and shared learning in a positive, inclusive forum. Each workshop can serve as a refresher or as a first introduction to this way of working.
They can be tailored to a particular area of service, or can be generic by bringing together a range of participants to explore a common approach, increasing understanding of a wide range of roles and how a strengths based approach can be applied.
All workshops are interactive, conversational in style and encourage participants to:
- Share their experiences
- Reflect on their own behaviours
- Consider how to further embed a culture of strengths-based approaches
The workshops include the perspective of people with lived experience and will support participants to consider the impact and experience for people they are supporting.
Who should attend?
The workshops are ideal for anyone involved in supporting people to consider what is important to them and what may need to change to achieve those things.
Each workshop is two hours long and for a maximum of 20 people. They can be hosted on Microsoft Teams or Zoom.
Participants can book the core workshop as a stand-alone session or all three as part of a suite.
Why NDTi?
We have a wealth of experience in supporting social care and health organisations to embed strengths-based approaches that get the best outcomes for those they support. Our facilitators have experience of this work in practice, can relate content to a range of service areas and bring insight and depth to the discussion.
Foundation workshop: Exploring strengths-based conversations
This is a foundation workshop that explores the components and the value of good conversations and considers the conditions that are essential to get the most out of that interaction. This can be generic or can be tailored to particular situations such as ‘first contact’ or when supporting someone leaving hospital.
This workshop can be booked as a stand alone session or as the first part of the full suite of three.
Additional workshops to complete the full suite
These two additional workshops can be booked as part of the full suite of three. They are designed to provide further learning to the foundation workshop, ‘Exploring strengths-based conversations’. These two workshops are designed to work together and cannot be offered individually.
Outcomes and planning supports
Building on the core workshop, this session goes into more depth in relation to developing plans; supporting the person to stay in control; considering personal and community resources; building independence and focusing on outcomes that matter.
Strengths-based reviews
This workshop is aimed at anyone involved in reviewing plans with people, formally or informally. It considers the purpose and the logistics of that process and the important considerations to do this well.

Workshop: Leading and developing strengths based cultures
A one day workshop suitable for anyone with leadership responsibilities within health and care.
We know that those in supervisory roles, for example team managers, seniors and practice leads, have a considerable influence on the culture of practice within services.
