Tom Barthel Consulting

Group Facilitation

LEADING SMALL GROUPS TO UNEXPECTED DISCOVERIES

Tom Barthel works with schools, family service agencies, and parenting groups to deliver engaging presentations that open the eyes of audiences to simple methods to evoke change in troubled youth.

 

Tom helps audiences step back and view their situation from a totally different perspective.  Helping people become aware of what lead up to the troubles they are experiencing with youth, why current strategies to repair those troubles are simply not working, and how to simplify creating a 180 degree change in direction of the young person.

With a unique combination of humor, astute experience with addiction, and effective articulation Tom helps audiences feel good and feel confident about changing their young peoples direction in life.

 

In sharing his experience Tom was able to bring a refreshing perspective to clients and staff. Based on his sharing clients were ready and willing to engage in discussions of recovery and different perspectives.

Specific areas of focus include:

Choices For Students:

  • An applause worthy performance for young people in schools that opens their eyes to how much drug and alcohol use are really affecting them.
  • Outlines their true reasons for using substances, how that could be replaced, and how stresses and consequences from misbehavior are actually not happening to the students, but the students are happening to them.

Family Services and Treatment Centers

  • A presentation to assist Family Service staff to gain compliance and motivation from their clients to recover, embrace their recovery, and participate in the programming of that office.
  • A presentation to help families understand how to receive their recovering loved one back in the home, so their sobriety continues, and the family grows together.

Relationship Renewal For Parents

  • Top 3 actions to take to bring your child back to closeness, understanding, and intimacy with the parent.
  • How to use that new intimacy to naturally motivate a young person off of drugs, out of trouble, and into employment.

Boundaries for Parents

  • A template is presented for ironclad household rules that do not get broken, and do cause the young person to grow and change.
  • A thorough explanation on the vast differences between punishments and boundaries, and why only one will work for your home.
