Case conceptualization

Strengths & protective factors mapper

Organize strengths, resources, supports, and protective factors into a structured map to balance a problem-focused formulation.

Pro access required. Review the current offer in the app before paying.

The task

When this tool helps

You want resources and supports to remain visible in a formulation.

Why use a dedicated tool?

The dedicated form gives you named inputs for this task. Pro makes therapeutic orientation available in the current tool, so you can adjust those settings without composing a new instruction each time.

Pro access covers the settings marked Pro. Check the offer, usage limits, and renewal terms shown in your app before paying.

From input to draft

A concrete example

Fictional material

Sample input

What you bring

Fictional adult A has a supportive sibling, enjoys walking, has previously managed a difficult transition, and asks for help when overwhelmed. Organize these as resources without inferring risk level.

Illustrative draft

Social support: sibling. Restorative activity: walking. Prior experience: navigating a difficult transition. Help-seeking: willingness to ask for support. Explore which resources are currently accessible.

Written to illustrate the task; this is not a captured Psy output. It is a draft for professional review.
