Q

ITP Care Mapping ToolStrengths-based –What are they already doing

A

Lifestyle and Environmental Health
Physical Health
Emotional and spiritual support

We fill in what people are already doing to be as strengths based as possible. Then we add in evidence based individualized suggestions that fit their needs and they they can do until next session without it adding more stress or overwhelm them. This may include specific referrals (E.g. for GP or MDR) or things we start (e.g. medications, vitamins, psychotherapy) or educate about or teach/train.
All of this then goes through other factors in the model (patient preference, risk benefit analysis, etc)

Over time both client and provider start thinking holistically and collaboratively about recovery, coping and interventions. Always adding things, taking away what does not work and keeping what does.
