From Strength To Strength The Strengths Model in Practice Presenters: Christel van den Berg Toni-anne Matara Fuli Iuli Mike Bain
Principles of the Strengths Model • People have the capability to recover, reclaim, and transform their lives • Focus is on strengths rather than deficits • The community is viewed as an oasis of potential resources • The client is the director of the helping process • The worker-client relationship is primary and essential • The primary setting for our work is in the community
The Context of Our Work • Engagement • Understanding • Hope • Alliance • Tools • Strengths Assessment • Personal Recovery Plan • Group Supervision • Field mentoring • Recovery • Meaning • Purpose • Identity
The Strengths Assessment Identifies: • Strengths (not deficits) • What the clients have done in the past • The resources they have • Their Dreams & Aspirations
Personal Goal Plan • As a mutual agenda for work between support worker and client • Focuses on achieving the goals the client has set • Enables the Client and Practitioner to discuss the long term and short term goals (or steps),
Personal Goal Plan • Assigns responsibility to each task, • Sets target dates for accomplishment • Assists in the generation of ideas • Uses the Strengths Assessment as the primary source of information and guidance
