The Brotherhood of St Laurence has developed eModules to provide Better Futures staff with information about the program and Advantaged Thinking practice.

This document outlines the Better Futures My Voice planning resources that support the Advantaged Thinking approach. My Voice resources capture those key elements from coaching conversations that provide an alternative way to typical case management practices.

The Coaching in Action Guide provides a practical guide to having coaching conversations with the young people you work with. In this document you will find tools, techniques and step-by-step guides to support your coaching practice.

This guide is a tool to be more mindful of language—personally, professionally, and organisationally. Throughout the guide you will find the reflections of young people themselves, checklists that help us return to an Advantaged Thinking mindset, and a glossary of terms and conversation starters to add to our Advantaged Thinking repertoire.

The 7 tests are built around creating change in individuals and communities to improve outcomes for the people we work with. We can use the 7 tests to guide our practice, provide opportunities for reflection and discussion, to instigate change and new ways of working with people.
