Strengths-based

Definition

From:

NICE Guideline NG43 - Transition from children's to adults' services for young people using health or social care services

National Institute for Health and Care Excellence

Strengths-based practice involves the person who uses services and the practitioners who support them working together to achieve the person's intended outcomes, in a way that draws on the person's strengths. The quality of the relationship between those providing support and those being supported is particularly important, as are the skills and experience that the person using support brings to the process (Strengths-based approaches, Social Care Institute for Excellence).
