STRENGTHENING PRACTICE IN SCHOOLS, SOCIAL SERVICES, & CLINICAL SETTINGS

​
-
Engage positively with children, youth, and families:

VIG allows supervisors to review recorded interactions between staff and students/clients, enabling them to identify existing strengths and develop effective strategies for improving student/client engagement.

​
-
Support staff to use their own strengths as the foundation for ongoing professional development:
-
Through video review and collaborative discussions, VIG enables supervisors to empower staff to recognize their own strengths & capabilities and to help them set and achieve goals for continued professional growth.​​​

​
-
Equip staff to help students and clients leverage their strengths:
-
VIG helps supervisors work with staff to recognize the strengths and abilities of their students/clients. By learning how to use those identified strengths as building blocks for growth and change, staff are better equipped to maximize the developmental outcomes of their students and clients. ​

-
Foster stronger organizations and teams:
-
VIG promotes a collaborative approach by involving supervisors and staff in the reflective process. This encourages teamwork, shared learning, and a collective effort towards professional growth. As a result, organizations and teams become stronger, more cohesive, and better equipped to provide quality services to children and families.​​

Improve programs and services for better outcomes:
