Facilitation (transfer and techniques)

The central purposes of facilitation are to: enhance the quality of the learning experience, to assist clients in finding directions and sources for functional change, and to create changes that are lasting and transferable.

Problem-focused facilitation looks to solve problems by closely investigating their causes, determining what can be done to reduce their influence on clients. Problem-focused facilitators often investigate who or what sustains the problem, when and where it occurs, why it has continued to be a problem, and how clients can try harder to overcome the problem.

Solution-focused facilitation does not ignore the presenting problems, but strives to bring about their resolution by helping clients identify, construct, and implement solutions to the problem.
