Choosing Strengths

A hands-on tool to support good life choices

Choosing Strengths is an essential resource that includes 36 cards and booklet to inspire conversations around personal strengths. Each card is designed to help individuals view themselves as resourceful and resilient in the face of adversity.

Understanding and valuing our personal strengths is a way for us all to navigate the ups and downs of everyday life. Our strengths are more than the personality or qualities we inherit, the resources we gather, or even the skills we acquire.

This beautifully illustrated set supports a broader understanding of our individual strengths and reinforces the idea that the way we view ourselves is a choice that can impact our quality of life.

Choosing Strengths enables users to identify and communicate their potential strengths and how to focus on, and develop them.

This toolkit is founded on the tradition of choice theory and strengths-based practice – making it a vital addition for practitioners wanting to support people’s self-determination.

• Counselling
