Which principle in recovery promotes the notion that everyone has both vulnerabilities and strengths?

The strengths-based model is centered on the belief that individuals possess inherent strengths and abilities, alongside their vulnerabilities. This perspective recognizes that every person has unique resources and capacities that can contribute to their recovery and well-being. By focusing on strengths, this approach empowers individuals to leverage these positive aspects of themselves while acknowledging and addressing their challenges. It encourages clients to engage in their recovery process with the understanding that they are not defined solely by their difficulties, but rather by a combination of their strengths and areas of growth. This holistic view not only promotes resilience but also fosters a more positive self-image and a proactive approach to managing mental health.

In contrast, the resilience model emphasizes an individual's ability to bounce back from adversity but may not explicitly acknowledge the coexistence of both strengths and vulnerabilities in the same framework. The cognitive-behavioral model primarily focuses on changing negative thought patterns and behaviors rather than emphasizing the overall balance of strengths and vulnerabilities. The person-centered model prioritizes the individual's experience and needs, but it does not necessarily focus on the strengths aspect in the same deliberate manner as the strengths-based model does.
