About maps3
MAPS3 was developed primarily to increase motivation and self-esteem in those who are traditionally labelled as 'hard to help'. MAPS3 is for both young people and adults, particularly those with specific barriers preventing them from fully engaging in education, training or employment.
The whole ethos behind the toolkit is to provide meaningful engagement that quickly identifies where support and action needs to be focused and to build self esteem. This is achieved by means of a series of short activities and exercises that are engaging, non-threatening, and fun to complete.
This approach also emphasises a 'partnership' with the client where they are helped to identify and 'own' their problems, taking responsibility for choices they make. The adviser role is as coach, helping the client to access the resources needed to tackle the blockers. This creates sustainability and contributes to improved self esteem.
