Family Strengths Model

The Family Strengths Model is an approach used by social workers and professionals to help families identify and build on their existing positive qualities and resources. Instead of focusing on problems or deficits, it emphasizes what families are doing well, their skills, support networks, and resilience. By highlighting strengths, the goal is to empower families to overcome challenges, improve their situation, and create healthier, more supportive environments. This approach fosters hope and collaboration, encouraging families to take an active role in positive change.
