everyone up for successful results. Emphasizes strength building rather than flaw fixing and uses
combinations of strengths based practice, resiliency, and solution-focused therapy. This approach is
designed to help team members respond to clients or students rather than react.
Behavior Planning for Underserved Youth and Youth who have had Trauma: Outlines three
“magic pieces” to working with youth who have been labeled “at- risk” “urban” “disturbed” etc:
1) Understand culture with a commitment to learning the world-view of the youth.
2) Develop true rapport with youth based in what is strong in them, not what is “wrong” in them.
3) Help create behavior plans that offer support, promote self-soothing and build life skills that
youth can use to create and maintain positive healthy lives.
Institutionalizing Cultural Knowledge and Adapting to Diversity: Inspire culturally sensitive an
competent professionals and institutions to take a step further by normalizing and assimilating
cultural knowledge so they can successfully support diversity and better serve diverse populations.
