Asset-Based Approaches

Asset-Based Approaches focus on identifying and leveraging the strengths, resources, and talents within a community or individual rather than concentrating on problems or deficits. This method emphasizes what people or communities have and can do, such as skills, networks, or facilities, to create positive change. By building on existing assets, these approaches foster empowerment, resilience, and sustainable development, encouraging people to participate actively in improving their circumstances rather than feeling defined by challenges.
