What is strengths-based care?

Strengths-based care is a modern approach to health and social care that shifts the focus from what a person can’t do to what they can do. Instead of highlighting problems, it builds on an individual’s abilities, talents, and values.

Why does it matter?

This approach matters because it:

  • Boosts confidence by celebrating abilities

  • Encourages independence and self-worth

  • Creates more meaningful care plans

  • Supports long-term resilience

An example in practice

If someone enjoys cooking but struggles with mobility, instead of stopping the activity, we adapt the kitchen or provide the right support so they can continue enjoying it.

Final thought

Strengths-based care doesn’t just provide support — it inspires independence and allows people to live life with dignity.
