Youth Centered, Strength Based Care

Two key values considered pivotal in creating nurturing, enriching therapeutic environments are person-centered and strength-based care. A youth-centered environment means empowering the individuals to feel directly involved in their care, treatment, and journey to success.

Working hand in hand with the concept of youth-centered is the idea of a strength-based approach to care – building from and celebrating the child’s competencies or abilities instead of overly focusing on deficits. This workshop aims to equip attendees with the knowledge and skills necessary to integrate both approaches to care into their existing framework.
