- Description
- Strengths-based practice is widely accepted as an important foundation for social work, family work and community work in a range of settings There are, however, a number of challenges or dilemmas involved when adopting a strengths-based approach in certain contexts where there are significant risks associated with people's safety, such as working with perpetrators of domestic or family violence and in child protection. In this paper we explore some of the dilemmas involved in offering Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP) workshops to parents and partners. We provide a brief overview of AVP, discuss some characteristics of strengths-based group work and then consider five dilemmas we've faced in offering the program.
