Strengths-Based Approaches
Recommended best practice in all support and care settings and are crucial for working with issues of trauma, power and inequality.
About this course
This practical course will allow you to develop an understanding of strengths-based and Solution Focused Therapy approaches to support. The benefits of strengths-based approaches are widely recognised and have an established evidence-base for working with individuals with histories of complex trauma. Here you will learn how to help people build-up the river-bank of resources in order to support them in containing and managing the torrent of traumatic experience, spot sparkling moments and use scaling to recognise each precious step towards meaningful progress for them. We will also explore how to deliver a strength-based assessment, have strength-based conversations, how to design services and utilise legislation in a strengths-based way as well as discuss specific strength-based therapeutic approaches such Solution Focused Therapy and Narrative Therapy.
