Description
Strengths-based (or asset-based) approaches focus on individuals’ strengths (including personal strengths and social and community networks) and not on their deficits. Strengths-based practice is holistic and multidisciplinary and works with the individual to promote their wellbeing. It is outcomes-led and not services-led.
Strengths-based practice requires effective leadership at all levels. This programme will support health and social care leaders through engaging with academic insights and critically reflecting on their own leadership.
Who is this programme for?
The programme is designed for practitioners working in children’s and adults’ social care, including (but not limited to): Team leaders or managers and assistant leaders or managers, senior social work practitioners, consultant social workers or senior occupational therapists.
How much time will I need to commit?
The programme will typically run across a 6 month period. Participants will be expected to commit at least 15 days. This will include engaging with formal learning and undertaking work-based activities. Employers will be expected to support participants through providing them with time to engage with the learning and to undertake the work-based tasks.
