Strength Based Interventions

Presented by Kevin Powell

This workshop will highlight key strengths-based interventions for working with youth (and adults) in sex offense-specific services (Powell, 2015). Strengths-based practices not only help to end harmful sexual behaviors but assist in the development and reinforcement of prosocial life skills. Specific interventions will be described for developing positive relationships, promoting hope & self-efficacy, targeting resilience protective factors, targeting dynamic risk factors with strengths-based alternatives, and enhancing prosocial behaviors & emotional intelligence. Key components for treating clients impacted by adverse childhood experiences will also be highlighted (Powell, 2024). This training is relevant for all providers including clinicians, direct care staff, supervising agents, caseworkers, teachers, legal professionals, and others.
