THE KEEPWELL INTERNATIONAL TRAINING EVENT 2009 "THE STRENGTH MODEL OF CASE MANAGEMENT" DELIVERED BY RICK GOSCHA OF KANSAS USA IN SYDNEY Monday and Tuesday 22 & 23 JUNE 2009. Rick Goscha co-wrote the new text with Charles Rapp 2006. The Strengths Model is one of only two models of case management that have consistently shown improvement in client outcomes in randomized clinical studies. The Strengths Model is a departure from the traditional focus on people's deficits, weaknesses, and disabilities. While not ignoring that people often experience significant barriers and challenges in their lives, the focus turns toward the well-aspects of the person. Each individual is viewed as someone who possesses unique strengths, talents, skills, environmental supports, dreams, and desires. The Strengths Model is a recovery-oriented practice that strives to help people identify goals that are meaningful and passionate and the supports needed to achieve them.
