The Asset-Based Perspective

The Asset-Based Perspective views a person, organization, or community primarily through their strengths and resources rather than weaknesses or problems. It emphasizes identifying and leveraging existing assets—such as skills, relationships, and resources—to create positive change and achieve goals. Instead of focusing on what's wrong, this approach builds confidence and resilience by recognizing what is already good and using it as a foundation for growth and development. It is a practical and empowering way to foster progress by valuing and mobilizing strengths.
