Solution-Oriented approach

Below you will find the ten working principles of solution-oriented practice that we use within the Family Resource Service:

If it works, do more of it. If is doesn’t work, do something else.

A small change in any aspect of a problem can initiate a solution.

People have the necessary resources to change problems.

A focus on future possibilities and solutions enhances change.

There are many possible meanings and interpretations for any given behaviour. If one does not work, toss it out and try another.

Co-operation enhances change.

The problem is the problem; not the person.

Possibilities are infinite.

People have a unique way of solving problems.

Keep one foot in pain and one foot in possibility – This means that we listen to you, and help you find solutions to your own difficulties so that you can move on.
