In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in shifting the focus of clinical practice with families from a deficit to a strengths-based perspective. The concept of individual and family strengths is a central concept of the McGill Model of Nursing, yet there has been little description of the construct and how it can be used in practice. Through an examination of the practice of expert nurses and the approaches used in the assessment of families’ strengths and resources, planning and intervention were elucidated. This article describes how clinicians can identify and provide feedback concerning strengths, identify resources, and help families develop and call forth strengths, mobilize and use resources, and regulate the input of these resources.
