Developmental model
• The Circle of Courage is a model of positive youth
development first described in the book Reclaiming
Youth at Risk, co-authored by Larry Brendtro, Martin
Brokenleg, and Steve Van Bockern. The Circle of
Courage is based in four universal growth needs of all
children: belonging, mastery, independence, and
generosity. Entirely on the child, youth and family
holistically (circle of wholeness)
• Focus on strengths
• Self determination
• Build on competency
• Worker is viewed as a facilitator
• Key word-develop and empower
The circle of Courage:
Belonging
• Belonging – attachment "Bea related, somehow, to
everyone you know." Treating others as kin forges
powerful social bonds that draw all into relationships of
respect. Throughout history the tribe, not the nuclear
family, always ensured the survival of the culture. Even if
parents died or were not responsible, the tribe was
always there to nourish the next generation.
• It takes a village to raise a child. A sense of attachment
to family, school, peers, church et. Children are
desperately pursuing “artificial belonging” because
families, schools, neighbourhoods are not fulfilling this
need.
• For example, children who feel rejected are struggling to
find artificial, distorted belongings through behaviour
such as attention seeking.
Mastery
• Mastery - Competence in traditional cultures is ensured
by guaranteed opportunity for mastery. Children were
taught to carefully observe and listen to those with more
experience. A person with greater ability was seen as a
model for learning, not as a rival. Each person strives for
mastery for personal growth, but not to be superior to
someone else. Humans have an innate drive to become
competent and solve problems. With success in
surmounting challenges, the desire to achieve is
strengthened.
• When deprived of opportunities for success , young
people express their frustrations through trouble
behavior
Independence
• Independence – “self reliance” children must have a
sense of power over their own behaviour and their
environment because if they lack this ability they are
bound to become developmental causalities (learned
helplessness). A condition of human being in which
he/she has learned to behave helplessly even when the
opportunity is restored for him/her to help himself/herself
by avoiding an unpleasant circumstances to which
she/he has been subjected. Independency does not
mean the child no longer needs nurturance because for
the child to manage and control their actions depends on
the degree of security of his/her attachments.
Generosity
Generosity - “empathy". helping other
improves self-esteem and increased selfesteem allows the child to contribute to
others. Without the opportunity to give to
others, children cannot develop as caring
adults.
