 Resistance is often viewed as a barrier in family therapy, but BSFT approaches it as a meaningful part of the change process. This webinar explores how resistance can be understood within family interaction patterns rather than as an individual trait. The session will highlight strategies to improve engagement and shift family dynamics. Gain practical insight you can apply in your work with families.

 What does it take to create behavior change — in systems? About a decade ago, a team of implementation scientists came together and discussed their experiences attempting to create systems change . Coming out of that discussion was a manuscript (Powell, et al., 2015) wherein the group developed a list of 'expert recommendations in implementing change' (aka "ERIC"), based on their collective decades of experience trying (and often, failing) to get systems to 'behave' differently. This (now famous) list of 73 things that the experts said needed to be attended to was overwhelming to most readers. In this presentation, we will cover the follow-up study "Simplify, Simplify" where we (Edwards et al., 2026) narrowed the list down to five areas of activity that incorporate the 73 ERIC strategies. This webinar will aim to provide a brief overview of the science on implementation, followed by a summary of the five factors, with time for discussion related to real-world application of these concepts.
