Brisbane Institute of Strengths Based Practice (Inc) was
founded in 2006 to support approaches that promote
resilience as opposed to dealing with deficits. We are a
group of people from a range of professional backgrounds
such as social work, psychology, education and
management that believe, work with and
advocate strengths based practices. We recognise that
the strength based movement is gaining impetus
globally, with people from diverse backgrounds attracted
to this inward looking practice, whether it be teachers
utilising such strategies with their students, helping
professionals engaging with clients to fulfil their
potential, or employers and HRD Managers utilising
strength based performance appraisals with their
employers.
What are SBPs?
Strengths Based Practices (SBPs) concentrates on the
inherent strengths of individuals, families groups
and organisations deploying peoples' personal
strengths to aid their recovery and empowerment.
SBPs are empowering alternatives to traditional
methods with individuals, group or organizational
work. SBPs refrain from allowing crippling,
labelling and stigmatized language. Descriptions and
pathology owned by persons groups and organizations
that suggest acceptance of their condition as
hopeless or helpless to change are constructively
challenged through SBPs. Strengths based strategies
build and foster hope from within by focusing and
working with precedent successes. SBPs strategies
facilitate change by assisting to look at / what has
worked? what does not work? and what might work
presently making it important for facilitators and
those desiring change to be integral to this process
of change.
