Strengths approach
CLAN WA is committed to embracing and developing use of the Strengths Approach.
The Strengths Approach, as a philosophy for working with people for change, grows out of years of practice, reflection and learning. The pioneers of solution-focused and narrative practices and various social work frameworks have also informed the learning over the years.
The Strengths Approach is concerned with using people’s strengths and aspirations as a means to profound and meaningful change, as opposed to concern with problems and what people are doing wrong. In essence, it is about bringing hope.
The key principles of the Strengths Approach are:
- Social justice
- Respect
- The sharing of power
- An emphasis on people’s strengths and capacities as a means to change and growth
- Inclusion and collaboration
- Transparency
- Self-determination
