What It Captures

The profile captures personal strengths, available resources, resource type distinctions where used, and links to recovery goals or next steps.

Practitioner and Client Roles

The client provides lived knowledge of strengths and resources. The practitioner supports organization and planning connections.

Important Boundary

The tool is not a deficit assessment, service eligibility screen, capability rating, or generic directory.

Can resources be left uncategorized?

Yes. If the type is unclear, a resource can remain uncategorized rather than forcing a category.

Does the system rank strengths?

No. The system may organize entries, but it does not rank strengths or infer capacity.

Can practitioner observations be added?

Yes. Practitioner notes can support planning, but they remain separate from the client's own wording.

Can this connect to recovery goals?

Yes. When goal linking is enabled, strengths and resources can be associated with existing recovery goals or next steps.
