This may sound familiar... Someone asks you to come up with a solution for a certain problem. Well, that’s obviously something that you can do, so you immediately start to think about your available resources. The can and can’t do’s. And with that in mind, you make the assessment if your idea is feasible. If it really can offer a solution.
But what if the problem is homelessness? Or loneliness? Addiction? Grief? What if the challenge seems to big,
what will you do then? Many will assume that they’re not fit to solve the problem. That they are to small and/or lack the resources. And honestly, that’s totally understable. We are used to judge our capabilities based on our resources. Secondly, most of us aren’t trained professionals. So no, clearly it’s not possible.
Could it also be different? YES, IT CAN ALSO BE DIFFERENT.
We can (or should) change our mindset. Think of something that we CAN do. How we can contribute to better a certain situation. Because you know, just a little bit of change can make a world of difference. A little bit of effort vs. a mountain of appreciation. Because we are all worth it. Curious about what they are? Read all about it on the next page And that is exactly why at Discus, we work with the It-Can-Also-Be-Different methodology.
With It-Can-Also-Be-Different we strive to help homeless people who have psychiatric illnesses (like addiction). At the same time, we’re are fighting homelessness. How we do that? Easy, by giving homes to the homeless.
We firmly believe that having a solid foundation helps our clients with taking back control over their lives. And we will do everything we can in helping them achieve that. With conventional methods, or creative and out-of-the-box ones. As long as it works. That’s the whole thing. Doing something that cán be done.
Doing something that is different. This website is here to inspire and be inspired. With beautiful real life stories. Stories about how It-Can-Also-Be-Different made a difference. Stories about how you can make a difference. Just inspiring stories about doing stuff. Differently.
