Question

youth in cbs usually succeed because they have:

excellent professional care.
parents who know how to advocate on behalf of their children.
strengths that they harness to meet their needs.
fewer needs than kids who dont do well.

Explanation:

Analyze the core philosophy of Community Based Services (CBS)

Community Based Services (CBS) for youth operate primarily on a strength-based model, which emphasizes identifying, utilizing, and building upon the inherent strengths and resources of the youth and their families to achieve positive outcomes.

Evaluate the given options against the strength-based model

• "Excellent professional care" focuses on external provider intervention rather than the youth's agency.
• "Parents who know how to advocate on behalf of their children" is beneficial but does not directly address the youth's internal capacity for success in CBS.
• "Strengths that they harness to meet their needs" directly aligns with the core strength-based philosophy of youth support services.
• "Fewer needs than kids who don't do well" is incorrect as CBS is designed to support youth with significant, complex needs.

Determine the correct choice

The option emphasizing that youth succeed because they harness their own strengths to meet their needs is the correct answer.

• (A) Excellent professional care.
• (B) Parents who know how to advocate on behalf of their children.
• (C) Strengths that they harness to meet their needs. (Correct answer)
