The Strengths perspective is the ability to look at the client focusing on their strengths over weaknesses. The strengths perspective looks at the individual for what is good in the clients life and works to expand up it by using those strengths to overcome adversity. From a strengths perspective a homeless person their strengths may be that they have a safe homeless community, have access to community services, maybe they have some “"street smarts”. In the Marta case I would say that she has three lovely children in her life and she now has a chance to start her life over with them. This get to be a fresh start for her and the kids and also she already has a leg up on others because she has a degree in accounting which will help her get a good new job where ever they go so she can work to help with the kids.
