Our Institute (FTTIM) is renowned for its leadership in providing training in the evidence-based practice Brief Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT®) and related therapy models to behavioral health and mental health professionals so they can help at-risk kids and families improve their lives. FTTIM's director, Olga Hervis, co-authored the Brief Strategic Family Therapy Training Program©, She has been teaching, supervising and consulting on the model since its inception in the 1970’s. Supported by the largest staff of BSFT Master Trainers, Hervis has trained over 1,000 individuals at multiple sites across 35 states not only in BSFT but also in related skill-building workshops. Training, which is available in the U.S. and abroad in Spanish and English, is tailored to the needs of the organizations, including to “consortia” of agencies that choose to participate in joint training. Our training also addresses the special clinical needs of immigrant and minority families in our communities.
