Training

Our strengths-based training workshops are designed to be highly experiential and to value the knowledge and stories participants bring from their own practice. We aim to clearly define and demonstrate skills and practice maps by sharing stories of our own work. We establish a creative learning environment so that participants can “try out” these skills in exercises and explore applications to their own varied work contexts.

Strengths-based approaches are those which are developing principles, ideas and processes for:

• Being fair and respectful – putting the values of respect and social justice into action; 
• Focussing on strengths and resources – enabling people to identify, step into and further embrace personal, cultural and community strengths; and 
• Facilitating client-directed change – assisting people to make changes that are meaningful and significant to them and reflect how they want their lives to be.
