• A. True
• B. It is sometimes true
• C. False
• D. It depends on context

Answer: (A)

Highlighting your current strengths and recent accomplishments strengthens your narrative because it shows what you can do now and the momentum you bring. Presenting up-to-date evidence of capability makes your story credible and relevant to the opportunities or supports you’re pursuing. It helps others see how your skills are being applied today, informs planning and goal setting, and can boost engagement and motivation in collaborative efforts like case planning or employment conversations. In person-centered approaches used in behavioral health and development services, focusing on current strengths empowers your progress and guides effective supports. Keep the emphasis on honest, relevant examples of what you’re doing now, while keeping privacy and safety considerations in mind.
