Ethical traits are demonstrated by empathy, the true ability to reach out and care. Empathy…

rapport with the youth, complete the initial assessment and work with the youth throughout the 21-week period. Youth are defined by health professionals as needing to be fixed; which focuses on a more deficit way of thinking instead of focusing on the strengths a youth has (Hurtes & Allen, 2001).
