Reimagining strengths approaches to drug and alcohol care for young people

这个项目的目的是在青少年酗酒和吸毒部门推动基于优势的办法的概念化和实际应用。这些方法为解决年轻人的药物使用和不利状况提供了一条有希望的前进道路，并且在该部门广泛使用，但缺乏强有力的证据基础。该项目将学习土著居民基于优势的模式的优点，并利用社会学框架，以产生证据，为处境不利的年轻人制定更相关的对策。这将为服务提供者和政策制定者提供关于如何开展针对弱势青年需求的基于优势的实践的证据，从而为服务提供者和政策制定者带来重大利益。

This project aims to advance the conceptualisation and practical application of strengths-based approaches in the youth alcohol and drug sector. These approaches provide a promising way forward for addressing substance use and disadvantage among young people, and are widespread in the sector, but lack a strong evidence base. The project will learn from excellence in Aboriginal strengths-based models, and draw on sociological frameworks, to generate evidence on which to build more relevant responses for disadvantaged young people. This will provide significant benefit to service providers and policymakers by providing evidence about how to do strengths-based practice that is responsive to the needs of disadvantaged young people.
