Concepts & Definitions

Strengths-Based – observing and acting upon what is working well. (antithesis of a Deficit-Based approach which is observing what is not working in order to fix it.) All people have strengths. When these strengths are observed and validated it improves quality of life, employment skills and health.

Synergy – the extra energy or effectiveness that people or businesses create when they combine their efforts with positive cooperation. (1+1 = 3, the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts)
