The contributions of clients are referred to as client factors, which according to research estimates account for between 80-87% of the variance in outcome, far more than any other factor. Key Competency: Evoke and utilize client contributions to changeĬlients are what make services work. Principle 2: Clients are the most significant contributors to outcome Processes and practices that are respectful, collaborative, honor clients’ ideas about change, and create or rehabilitate hope increase the prospects of change. In contrast, providers who have the attitude that positive change can occur even in difficult situations coupled with an emphasis on possibilities tend to instill and promote hope in every interaction, however small. For example, an attitude of pessimism or an emphasis on psychopathology or the long-term process of change can negatively affect hope. Providers’ attitudes can promote or dampen hope.

Of the factors that contribute to eventual outcome, none may be as difficult to grasp as expectancy and hope, which is derived from the expectations of clients about services, the creation and sustainment of hope, and the credibility placed on the rationale for the use of specific techniques. Key Competency: Demonstrate faith in the restorative effects of services Principle 1: Expectancy and hope are catalysts of change Routine outcome monitoring (ROM) is used to create and maintain a culture of feedback-a responsive, consumer-driven climate to ensure the greatest benefit of services. Strengths-based practitioners value relationships and convey this through respectful, culturally-sensitive, collaborative, practices that support, encourage and empower. When combined with new experiences, understandings and skills, these abilities and resources contribute to improved well-being and outcome, which is comprised of three areas of functioning: individual, interpersonal relationships, and social role. A strengths-based perspective emphasizes the abilities and resources people have within themselves and their support systems to more effectively cope with life challenges. ![]()
