“I-FAST” Two days workshop / 
Six sessions of Clinical Supervision

​

       

Background:

Integrative Family and Systems Treatment (I‐FAST) is a treatment model that is developed to work with families that have children with severe emotional and/or behavioral problems. I‐FAST is developed with the purpose of developing an evidence‐based common factors treatment model that address practice realities of social service agencies, embraces social workers’ existing expertise, and empowers the development of expertise at the agency level. Building on evidence based literature regarding effective treatments for this population, I‐FAST identifies three core treatment components that can be integrated into a coherent treatment protocol for working with children, adolescents, and families at risk.

 

Theoretical framework:

Integration of systemic, structural strategic, solution focused, strength based, narrative and social construction approaches.

 

Emphasis:

Core Treatment Components:

• Developing therapeutic alliance

• Systems collaboration: working with other involved systems

 

How does it help case-workers in their work:
