A workshop brimming with practical and creative ideas for using visual representations of family in your work with children and young people, with Dr Karen Treisman MBE.
Tickets: free for members, £50 for non-members.

Award-winning psychologist and bestselling author, Dr Karen Treisman MBE, will show how you can integrate genograms and visual representations into different types of support, assessment and interventions.
You’ll learn how to create more meaningful and enriching genograms, as well as a range of questions and reflective exercises to use alongside them.
Find out how genograms can be adapted for children, teens and adults, or used within reflective spaces and supervision.
“Love the Live Classrooms – they are so accessible, practical and always provide lots of thoughts and ideas to take away.” Training participant.
This Live Classroom assumes that attendees have some of the baseline therapeutic and direct work skills.
Although we won’t be making genograms in the session, you might like to select some materials to experiment and explore with.
