Family Therapy Foundations is The Bouverie Centre’s re-imagined Introduction to Family Therapy drawing on decades of experience and welcoming diverse practitioners to the field of Family Therapy with an engaging, practice orientation to systems work.

Delivered across 4 workshop days, you will be introduced to the origins of systemic thinking, dive into conceptual developments, and explore contemporary applications to enhance the well-being of individuals, families and communities.

This live format is delivered by a group of Bouverie’s experienced Family Therapists, either in-person or live online. Your learning experience is enriched by complimentary access to our “FTF” eLearning package. You will have free access for 3 months following the completion of your course, allowing you to re-visit key topics and deepen your understanding as you practice.

Additionally, completion of Family Therapy Foundations grants you access to our complimentary Family Therapy Community of Practice; where you can join like-minded colleagues from across sectors to support your continued application of Family Therapy concepts, strengthening your family work skills and knowledge.
