Strengths-Based Conversation Skills for Trauma-Informed Practice
Skill-building and empowerment are at the heart of trauma-informed practice. Strengths-based conversations help to create an organizational culture of hope, change, and resilience. By focusing on strengths, rather than deficits, service providers:
- Acknowledge the ability of all people to survive and even grow from adversity
- Recognize the resilience that it takes for people to thrive despite numerous challenges in their lives
- Emphasize that people can and do heal from experiences of trauma
