The Family Strengths Model

The Family Strengths Model focuses on identifying and building upon a family's existing resources, skills, and positive qualities to enhance their overall well-being and problem-solving abilities. Rather than just addressing problems or deficits, this approach emphasizes what families do well and how to strengthen those areas. It encourages collaboration between families and professionals to set goals, foster resilience, and empower families to manage challenges effectively. By highlighting strengths rather than weaknesses, the model promotes confidence, self-efficacy, and sustainable positive change within the family unit.
