Identifying the strengths of your family:

Enter your own:

It is helpful to consider and focus on your family’s strengths. Noticing strengths and positives around you is a useful mindset to have, particularly when faced with problems. It is much more useful to identify and focus on the positives, and where you can find support, rather than focussing on the problem and on the negatives. So try to continue to be on the lookout for strengths and positives in your family.
