First things first…What is an asset based model?

In Community Development:“Asset approaches make visible, value and utilise the skills, knowledge, connectionsand potential in a community. They promote capacity, connectedness, reci-procity andsocial capital. The aim is to redress the balance between meeting needs and nurturing the strengths and resources of people and communities.” (Glass Half Full, 2010)

In Health & Wellbeing:“Asset working seeks ways to value the assets, nurture and connect them for the benefit of individuals, families and neighbourhoods. Instead of start-ing with the problems, it starts with what is working, what makes us feel well and what people care about. The more familiar deficit approach starts with needs and deficiencies and designs services to fix the prob-lem and fill the gaps. This creates dependency and people can feel disem-powered.” (Morgan et al. eds. Health Assets in a Global Context. Springer 2010).
