More on Advantaged Thinking

The Better Futures practice model is based on the Advantaged Thinking approach, which was developed by Colin Falconer of the UK Foyer Federation and adapted by the BSL. 

At the heart of Advantaged Thinking lies an understanding of people’s rights to develop a good life, one which they have reason to value, and a focus on developing strengths and assets rather than problems and needs. This approach recognises that people’s capability to choose different pathways in life must be matched with actual opportunities and the resources to realise them. Advantaged Thinking is the fulfilment of this philosophy in practice.
