Celebrating, partnering, and equipping every client to engage in activities that bring them joy and meaning.
Each of our clients has beauty and strengths. We celebrate and support these qualities with a strength-based treatment approach.
1. We focus on strengths, abilities, and potential rather than problems, deficits, or pathologies.
2. We recognize the strengths and expertise of everyone involved: Everyone has the ability to be a teacher and a learner.
3. We actively involve clients in decisions about the purpose, content, and processes of the group.
4. We focus on the whole person and recognize their social context.
5. We use language that is supportive, non-judgmental, inclusive, and future-oriented.
6. We encourage and create experiences where clients can be successful.
7. We recognize complexity and have a commitment to serving our community.
This philosophy follows the strengths-based community approach from Sustaining Community.
