3.1 Reflect
Character Strengths Survey
As this module focuses on the Self and awareness of who you are—important concepts to learn on the journey to becoming an effective child and youth care (CYC) practitioner—your first task is to do some self-exploration. In this reflection exercise, you will complete a survey that will help you identify your character strengths.
Your Turn
Take a few minutes and complete the VIA Character Strengths Survey (this link will open in a new page). You will need to register (it’s free) before doing the survey. This survey will allow you to begin to understand where your strengths are, and where you might need to look at improving. It will also help you reflect on your Self when you are on placement, as you can consider where your top character strengths may have helped or hindered you in that situation.
Once you have completed the survey and have your results, answer the questions on this CYC Self-Reflection Exercise form (this link will open in a new page).
