Better Futures Training Sessions overview

The Brotherhood of St Laurence has developed a suite of training sessions to provide Better Futures staff with information about the Better Futures program and Advantaged Thinking practice. Training sessions are delivered online and face-to-face multiple times across the year.

Advantaged Thinking Language Guide

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.

7 Tests of Advantaged Thinking

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.
