Notes

In the "professional gift" model of service provision, professionals provide assistance to clients out of a sense of altruism or duty, often with limited input or empowerment given to the clients themselves. The focus is on the professional's expertise and the idea of giving to those in need.

The "empowerment" model emphasizes the importance of empowering clients to take control of their own lives and make their own decisions. It values the client's autonomy and self-determination, working collaboratively to build their capacity and skills.

The "rights" model is based on the idea that all people have inherent rights, including the right to receive necessary services and support. It prioritizes the recognition and protection of these rights, ensuring that individuals have equal access to resources and opportunities.

Each model has its own strengths and weaknesses, and the most effective approach may depend on the specific needs and circumstances of the client.
