Abstract
ABSTRACTThis article explores neurobiological components in the Transforming Impossible into Possible (TIP) program; a research-supported social work group model developed from the theory of psychological self-sufficiency (PSS). The PSS theory emerges from a participatory action research in workforce development, defining PSS as the force within someone that activates a process of transforming perceived barriers into hope driven actions. TIP program is a bottom-up, participant-centered, multi-systematic approach which empowers individuals to begin the PSS process by developing self-awareness, confidence, hope, goal-orientation, leadership, accountability, conscientiousness, and grit. Applying the core concepts of neurobiological content derived from both cognitive neuroscience and interpersonal neurobiology, the authors explore six critical neurobiological categories in the core version of the TIP program manual. Incorporation of these core neurobiological concepts provides a strong foundation for TIP to be considered a neuroscientific preventive group model, with an emphasis on strengthening brain’s neuroplasticity, executive functioning, and emotional regulation in the neural integration process.
