Quality of Life Assets

Every Individual has a unique set of assets that can be used to improve his/her quality of life.  Assets include but are not limited to:

  • Support from family, friends, and caregivers

  • Personal boundaries and values

  • A thirst for learning new skills

  • Self-confidence

  • Participation in meaningful hobbies

  • Opportunities for exploration and growth

  • Social skills

  • Any other qualities that help a person strengthen his/her quality of life.

As we develop a Quality of Life Plan for an Individual, it is important to identify his/her possibilities and vulnerabilities.  See the form entitled Assessment of the Quality of Life Assets.  This assessment highlights a person's gifts toward building companionship and community.  Once we know where a person is in terms of feeling safe, engaged, and valued, and returning valuing, then we know where to start the mutual change process.
