Understanding the struggles of those who are being served can be a difficult task, where a mixture of stereotypes and assumptions can be both challenged and confirmed. This is an opportunity to begin developing the skills in the Strengths Perspective, where one actively assists guests at their site in recognizing their own strength and potential, in order to empower them to redirect their lives. This perspective is resourceful, in that learning to bring out strengths and tools, all people, no matter what trauma, pain and suffering they have experienced, are resilient to have the capacity for growth and change.
Being aware of the advantages and obstacles of this feat is extremely important in one's growth as a professional and civic leader.
