Working with Risk

Engagement:

the S.H.A.R.E. © Approach

Our work with ‘risk’ is embedded within a broader system. Effectively working with risk therefore involves engagement of other elements within that system. This includes (most crucially) the client but may often extend to a broader network of colleagues, other services, carers and support persons, and others. In this short course we outline a practical values-based model for engagement of stakeholders, with special emphasis on collaborative working with clients.

You will learn:

• The S.H.A.R.E. Approach to effective engagement
• The vital role of ‘systems awareness’ when collaborating with others
• The need for honesty and ‘hard conversations’
• The basics of ‘Adaptive Work’: a values-based approach to collaborative working
• How heightened arousal can derail thoughtful engagement
• The need to enhance our own and others’ capacity for decision-making
