'Working with Strengths' was published in May 2014 as a comprehensive resource for reviewing the literature and reflecting on strengths-based practice as applied to people in contact with services, as well as the strengths-focused development of practitioners, teams and organisations. It draws on the wider business literature as well as health and social care references to broaden the applicability of the ideas.

'Risk Decision-Making' was published in 2013 to help shift the focus from a tick-box culture to the realities of what good practice should be about. The manual and cd-rom provide the resources that should engage senior management in organisations, as well as the practitioners and multidisciplinary teams.

June 2007 saw the publication of the Working With Risk Trainers Manual and Practitioner Manual through Pavilion Publishing. The Trainers Manual provides a flexible two-day training programme, with the option of using any of the individual sessions as stand-alone training resources. The Practitioner Manual provides a set of practice-based risk tools with supporting guidance on how and when to use each. These materials also aim to discuss some of the wider risk issues and identify a key part of current research and literature. The practice-based tools are also supported by completed case examples.

Practice Based Evidence commenced business in October 2001. Promoting the value of the messages from service users, carers and practitioners experiences. These are often marginalised by the emphasis placed on research.

Analogue man goes digital

DateSunday, April 27, 2014 at 9:21AM

On 22nd April 2014 ‘The Strengths Revolution’ podcast show launched… without any fanfares, major venues, or even a fireworks display. It is just great content brought to you for free from Practice Based Evidence productions, in association with Inspired Marketing productions, Libsyn Hosting, and to be found in the podcast section of the iTunes Store.

The intention is to offer approximately 15-minute weekly episodes (recognizing that your time is precious), usually on a Thursday (to coincide with that brighter end-of-week feeling), on all subjects ‘Strengths’ related, and reflecting much of the type of content you will find on this site.

So, what are you waiting for? Head over to the iTunes Store now, click the podcast section, search for ‘The Strengths Revolution’, and enjoy. Then, please do me a favour by subscribing, downloading, and even reviewing particular shows. It will cost you very little time, and nothing financially! If you are a glass-half-full can-do sort of person, what could be better?
