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. If you have other “link” suggestions, please
