Connecting the pieces - A diversity, wellness & reablement podcast
The Eastern Sector Development Team host conversations about inclusive and responsive aged care services. We promote an intersectional approach to service delivery that recognises and responds to consumers diversity, their preferences, lived experiences and supports them to be empowered and active participants in their care. Our podcasts will explore person-centred care through a wellness and reablement model that is intrinsically aligned to progressive and inclusive diversity practice.

Episode 19
A strengths-based approach is a way of thinking, or the lens through which we approach the support and interactions that we have with clients - focusing on the positive attributes of a person or a group, rather than the negative. In practice, it’s about understanding and acknowledging that a person’s skills, knowledge, their interests, and their support systems; are their strengths. And we can use or harness these strengths to achieve an intended outcome. In this episode we explore the idea of strength-based practice (or a strength base approach) – what it is, who benefits from it, and how it contributes to the delivery of inclusive wellness assessment and service delivery.
