Strengths-based Practice - ONE DAY COURSE (2 Dec)

Capability and resilience Popular for its effectiveness, capacity to enhance relationships and ability to achieve meaningful outcomes, strengths-based practice has its foundations in social work. Where traditional approaches work on an individual’s problems and disadvantages, strengths-based approaches focus on building personal strengths and aptitudes. Rather than aiming to address a perceived deficit, or correct clients’ deficiencies, strengths-based practitioners see clients as capable and resilient. They can then support a client’s preferences and abilities to achieve their self-determined goals. This course will develop the skills of current strengths-based practitioners, along with providing foundation knowledge for those new to this approach. It also provides specific skills and templates for use with clients. Topics include: • Understanding strengths-based approaches and their benefits • Goal orientation • Links with mental health • Assessing strengths, aptitudes and potential • Strengths-based language • Linking strengths with resources • Links with solution-focused therapy • Collaborative capacity building • The role of hope • Meaningful choice This course includes: • Engaging, up-to-date materials. • Take-home resource package. • All-day catering and beverages - with dietary needs catered for. • Certificate of attendance.
