About the course

Building a collaborative and empowering relationships is fundamental for those working in frontline roles.

Many traditional approaches to Support Work focus on problems and deficits. While this can be helpful for identifying needs, it can also leave individuals feeling disempowered and labelled.

Strengths-Based Approaches shift the lens to individuals’ strengths, skills, and resources, recognising that people are more than their challenges and have the potential to drive their own journeys towards positive change. By building on existing strengths, we can empower people to set and achieve their own goals, fostering their sense of agency, resilience, and self-determination.

This one-day course will support you to develop Strength-Based Approaches within your role. The course will also consider how this aligns with a psychologically-informed environments framework (PIE), and trauma-informed practice.

Strengths Based Approaches offer a change in perspective that foster collaborative relationships, and increase hope, opportunities, confidence, wellbeing, and the client’s perceptions of their own abilities.

This course will support you to:

• Develop your understanding of the core principles of Strengths-Based Approaches
• Explore practical tools and techniques
• Build collaborative and empowering relationships with the people you support
• Expand your use of strengths-based language and curious, exploratory, and hope-inducing questions
• Develop your skills in identifying and fostering the strengths within individuals, even amidst adversity
• Consider professional boundaries when implementing Strengths-Based Approaches
• Discover how this approach complements the PIE framework, and trauma-informed practice
