Le Boutillier, Leamy, Bird, Davidson, Williams & Slade, 2011). In practice, this means assessing and using knowledge of a person's strengths and natural supports to inform assessments, care plans and goals, and to actively use the identified strengths within a person's care and treatment.
How do you do this in your practice? What is a strengths based approach? What is the purpose of values & goals in a strengths-based approach? (SAW & CASIG) How do you help clients identify them now using this framework?
What is a value? Oxford Dictionary: The regard that something is held to deserve ; the importance, worth, or usefulness of something. Qualities, characteristics or ideas about which we feel strongly really important to us Values affect (& are reflected in) our decisions, goals and behaviour Values = standards that guide action, judgments, & attitudes. Define what is of worth, what is beneficial, and what is safe/harmful to us
THINK: You have been given a check for $1000.00 to do whatever you like with it. What would you do with it? ??? What you spend the money on has everything to do with what you value Values = what you feel is important & are reflected in behaviour/actions/time
Direction: Values Goals Behaviour = Self-Value Values give direction & consistency to behaviours. help us make choices (to do or not do). establish a relationship between self & the world/others. set the direction for one s life as we start out inform our actions throughout our lives
Types of Values: Moral Material Aesthetic Intrinsic Extrinsic Universal/Ethnicity Group Specific Values

Ages 21 yrs+ --- values are established but often change over time. Values are contextual.
