Strength-based approach
A strength-based approach focuses on identifying and leveraging a person's or community’s existing skills, talents, and positive qualities. Instead of concentrating on problems or deficits, it emphasizes what is working well and what strengths can be built upon to foster growth, resilience, and solutions. This approach encourages a positive mindset, promoting confidence and empowerment, and often leads to more effective and sustainable outcomes by harnessing inherent capabilities rather than solely addressing weaknesses.
