As moderator of the list, I attempted to post a response and got caught in a technological abyss from which I think I have finally emerged. My response to Mary follows her message. >>> Hello. My name is Mary Kennedy. Currently I run a parent education program at a small, private non-profit agency for families referred by county child protective services in Valparaiso, Indiana. Very recently I offered to present at a local conference for a varied group of regional professionals who work with children on youth service delivery. My tentative session title is "A bridge must be well anchored on either side: Developmental perspectives on parent education and family therapy." (with permission, of course!) I just found NCSALL and FOB and the piece about transformational learning yesterday (only got a computer just a month ago!). The skills matrix in the TLP article and the "Understanding" boxes are really nice, and with permission I would like to use them to help a group of us "dissect" the ever-popular "I-statements and You Messages" and "Family Meetings" so many of us tell our clientele they should be practicing -- or any other "skills" we as a group identify. The query is, have you skills matrices for either of the above? Any other comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Mary Kennedy mkennedy99@usa.net Mary, You're very welcome to use FOCUS ON BASICS articles (and therefore, the skills matrices we published) in your presentation. We only ask that, somewhere on the materials you acknowledge the source. If you had room to put contact information, all the better! You asked for additional skills matrices. Someone from the writing team will address that question, but it may help us if you can clarify a bit more what you are looking for. Good luck with your presentation, and let us know what the key points of discussion turn out to be.
