How is a strengths-based assessment integrated with the EBP framework?

What will be an ideal response?


Ans: The strengths-based approach specifically assesses for client and systems assets that can contribute to positive outcomes. One component of the EBP framework is the “individual values, characteristics, and preferences” of the client system. The client/consumer is part of this process and requires his/her full participation. The strengths-based approach will access this EBP piece to contribute to a more holistic appreciation of the client. Finally, it is incumbent on the social worker to integrate empirical evidence to support the assessment and intervention phases.
