This workshop is designed to help participants identify, assess, and navigate common structural patterns in family therapy. Participants will explore the role of boundaries within ESFT, both as an area to be assessed and as a therapeutic tool. The workshop will focus on the role of boundaries in three common structural patterns: Triangulation, Enmeshment, and Disengagement. Case presentations, videotape analysis, and structural maps will be utilized to practice identifying and assessing boundaries and boundary violations. During the workshop, strategies for setting boundaries and the use of boundaries as a therapeutic tool will be discussed.
Objectives:
As a result of participating in this workshop, therapists will be able to:
- Define boundaries as related to ESFT treatment
- Contrast enmeshment and disengagement as they relate to boundaries.
- List two strategies for working with enmeshment

Each of these two 4.0-hour forums create an opportunity for all the supervisors currently in training at the Center for Family Based Training to 1) share current collective challenges they are facing as supervisors in FBMHS and 2) discuss creative strategies for addressing these challenges. Dr. Jones, the founder and director of CFBT facilitates the forums and is joined by other teaching faculty. One of the goals of the forums is to ensure everyone (supervisors and faculty) share a common understanding of the current context in which supervisors operate and deliver services. The forums are held at the beginning of the training year (September) and at the end (May).
This is a live synchronous distance learning activity conducted in real time, allowing for simultaneous participation of participants and instructors from different locations. The supervision forums count toward required annual supervision training hours in Family Based Mental Health Services. However, CE credit is not available.
Objectives:
As a result of participating in the forums, supervisors will:
- Recognize common challenges in delivering FBMHS and supervising therapists
- Identify strategies for effectively supporting therapists in training-related tasks

This 9-hour series is comprised of both small group supervision-of-supervision and supervision didactics. At the North Carolina Intensive In-Home sites, the small group supervision training occurs in the afternoons following All Staff Booster Workshops. In the small group supervision training, each supervisor is given 45-minutes to present a team delivering the state-mandated intensive, in-home treatment model, ESFT. Supervisors present videos of their teams doing family therapy, as well as videos of their team supervision. They obtain personalized feedback on supervising their teams, are encouraged to reflect upon their work as a supervisor, and have opportunities to practice new skills in a supportive atmosphere. ESFT supervisory tools, such as the Brief FBMHS Adherence Scale, the DocF, the Supervision Self-Monitoring Form, and Clinical Skills Assessments, are discussed and utilized to strengthen supervisory skills in helping supervisees implement the ESFT model with fidelity.
Objectives:
As a result of participating in the supervision-of-supervision series, supervisors will be able to:
- Support the development of supervisees’ skills needed to implement the ESFT model with fidelity.
- Establish and maintain a positive, meaningful, and effective relationship with supervisees individually and collectively.
This supervision-of-supervision series counts toward required annual supervision training hours in for ESFT Intensive In-Home, but is not currently offered for CE credit. CE credit.

Therapists new to a family systems approach to treatment often encounter difficulty adopting and maintaining a systemic or relational perspective concerning problems and their solutions. A nonrelational or acontextual orientation compromises therapists’ ability to identify problematic family interactional patterns. It also interferes with using enactments, a core treatment method in ESFT. This interactive discussion-oriented training uses supervision videotapes and case examples to identify supervisory strategies for helping supervisees develop a more relational orientation to working with families.
Objectives:
- Identify barriers supervisors face in helping therapists maintain a relational or systemic perspective
- Identify strategies for addressing these barriers and helping therapists see patterns and context
