Feedback:
When attention is directed to community strengths and resources, better relationships can be developed between all those working on the assessment, especially when the community is part of the process. Working relationships are enhanced when community members realize that the assessment process has the potential to be an empowering experience; the strengths and positive aspects of the community are measured in conjunction with what is needed or not actualized. There is no evidence of interviewing or creating change within the community in the scenario. There is also no evidence that there was any difficulty with the assessment.
