Capability and resilience

Popular for its effectiveness, capacity to enhance relationships and ability to achieve meaningful outcomes, strengths-based practice has its foundations in social work.

Where traditional approaches work on an individual’s problems and disadvantages, strengths-based approaches focus on building personal strengths and aptitudes.

Rather than aiming to address a perceived deficit, or correct clients’ deficiencies, strengths-based practitioners see clients as capable and resilient. They can then support a client’s preferences and abilities to achieve their self-determined goals.

This course will develop the skills of current strengths-based practitioners, along with providing foundation knowledge for those new to this approach. It also provides specific skills and templates for use with clients.

Topics include:

Understanding strengths-based approaches and their benefits
Goal orientation
Links with mental health
Assessing strengths, aptitudes and potential
Strengths-based language
Linking strengths with resources
Links with solution-focused therapy
Collaborative capacity building
The role of hope
Meaningful choice

This course includes:

Engaging, up-to-date materials.
Take-home resource package.
All day catering and beverages - with dietary needs catered for.
Certificate of attendance.
