- Abstract
This paper reports an intervention that aimed at introducing potential faith-based social care volunteers to the strengths-based approach in social care/ services. The goal of the intervention was to foster a caring community by enhancing how faith based organizations deliver services to their clients. A three-day workshop presenting the strengths-based approach was carried out during a Seventh-Day Adventist camp meeting in the South Botswana region. A survey was administered to obtain a feedback from the participants as to their attitudes and perception about the role of social work values and approaches to caring for members within their church community.
