strength-based practice

Strengths-based practice focuses on identifying and building on an individual’s existing skills, talents, and resources rather than focusing on problems or deficits. It emphasizes empowering individuals by recognizing their resilience and potential, fostering confidence and motivation. This approach encourages collaboration between professionals and clients, aiming to create positive change by leveraging what people already do well. It’s applicable in various settings, including social work, education, and healthcare, helping individuals achieve their goals through their strengths rather than focusing solely on limitations.
