Strengths Based Perspective - A Guiding Principle (Video) - https://youtu.be/eGaEAzqWeQQ

The Department of Human Services adheres to the strengths-based approach. An individualized, strengths-based approach refers to policies, practice methods, and strategies that identify and draw upon the strengths of customers/clients and communities. Strengths-based practice involves a shift from a deficit approach, which emphasizes problems and pathology, to a positive partnership with the customers/clients. The approach acknowledges each customer/client’s unique set of strengths and challenges and engages them as a partner. The strengths-based approach is an overall philosophical view that must be supported by policies, standards, and methods of service delivery of any organization that adheres to this philosophy.
