Our work has been profoundly influenced by clinical approaches such as Narrative, Collaborative and Solution-Focused Therapies, by organizational approaches such as Appreciative Inquiry and the Public Conversations Project, by our involvement in family-centered services, wraparound and systems of care approaches and perhaps most of all by our profound learnings from clients and client groups. 

Below is a list of links to some of the sources who have influenced our work.  This list is a “work in process” and will continue to be updated.
