what we do
The Strength-Based Collective provides strength-based resources for educators, mental health providers, researchers, and parents to help you cultivate strengths in yourself, those around you, and especially within youth.
In educational settings, strength-based approaches have been found to improve academic achievement and attendance.
(Mahoney & Vandiver, 2011)
what is a strength-based approach?
A strength-based approach values the skills, knowledge, connections, and potential of individuals or communities. It does not mean ignoring challenges or spinning struggles into strengths. The emphasis is on a positive outlook and goals.
Only about 10% of people can identify their top five strengths.
(Buckingham & Clifton, 2001)
