Asset Mapping-One Approach
Asset based: Focused on strengths and resources NOT deficits and problems
Community assets: Looks for internal talents, gifts, abilities and resources that can be used to solve existing problems.
Relationship focused: Looks at potential resources and linkages to address health problems.
