Strengths Collaborative

Overview

The Strengths/Resiliency-based Practice, Research and Training Collaborative is a partnership of practitioners, agencies, communities, trainers and researchers dedicated to building strengths-based person-centered practices with individuals, families, and communities.The Collaborative is housed in the School of Social Work at the University of North Carolina Wilmington.

Basic Tenets

• Every individual, group, family, and community has strengths
• Assume you do not know the upper limits of growth and change that is possible
• Clients are experts and work is client-directed

Mission

The Collaborative is to work closely with practitioners and educators in designing, delivering, and evaluating strengths/resiliency-based approaches to human and educational services, achieved through five major programs, each of which has a variety of projects.
