Which of the following is NOT a feature associated with solution-focused groups?

• A. Emphasis on accessing strengths
• B. Focus on solutions
• C. Emphasis on past events
• D. Access to resources

Answer: (C)

Solution-focused groups are driven by moving toward a desired future by using what people already know and have to work with. The emphasis is on identifying strengths, the solutions that could work, and the resources available to support change. Past events aren’t the focus for creating change; they’re looked at briefly only to uncover moments when things were going right or when a helpful action occurred, and then those insights are used to shape forward-moving steps.

That’s why emphasis on past events isn’t a feature. Instead, you build on what people already do well (accessing strengths), concentrate on what could happen (focus on solutions), and map out supports and tools available (access to resources).
