Introduction
Does it always help?
Is it practical?
Is it not fake if I just cannot see the positives and strengths in the situation?
What if someone has no strengths at all?
Do I have to be a optimist?
What if my agency context challenges the SP?

Philosophical InventoryDo you believe that positive change is possible
with the most “difficult” and “challenging” people?
What do you do to promote change?
How do you work with others with the belief that they cannot change?
If you do not believe that the people with whom you work can change, what keeps you in the field?
![Page 13: Strengths Perspective What’s The Big Deal?. Introduction Thank You](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649da05503460f94a8bcc3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Why the struggle?
Consequences to challenging current paradigm

What is it?
The Strengths Perspective offers a set of guiding principles that shape the lens for viewing human behaviour in a very different way. The fundamental premise is that individuals will do better in the long run when they are helped to identify, recognize and use the strengths and resources in themselves and their environment.

What is it?
The Strengths Model “allows us to see possibilities rather than problems, options rather than
constraints, wellness rather than sickness. And after being seen, achievement can occur”.
