The charity work with families experiencing child to parent abuse, a seldom talked about issue. They use a Solution Focused approach, working with clients to focus on their strengths and preferred futures to build solutions, rather than the more common approach of focussing on family’s problems.
Joe Lettieri, FBS co-founder explains, “We just wanted to have fun, to raise awareness of what we’re doing, why it’s so important we keep doing it and hopefully make some money so that we can do more of it.”
They also enlisted the help of their international colleagues. During lockdown Ayse and Joe launched ‘FBS Chats’ to interview Solution Focussed practitioners around the globe to talk about their work, their approaches and as a way of building ties within their community; something they are already known for in their local community. “For us, it’s just a continuation of what we’re doing in Enfield. We believe in the power of community, whether that’s round here, or internationally over Zoom. People have amazing ways of finding solutions when they work together.”
Family Based Solutions are ready to show the world that the power of community, is in fact, The Power of Love.
