Hays ADDRESSING Model Template COMPLETE ALL AREAS OF THIS TABLE FOR YOUR ASSIGNMENT An example of a partially completed table is provided on the next page. Cultural Group (according to the ADDRESSING model) How You Identify Implications for your work. Consider where you have privilege, and which groups might be easy or difficult to work with. A. Age (and generational influences). Early Middle Age (38) I would have some difficulty working with children, aged 1-9 years old. Due to my age, clients younger than ten years old may be difficult to relate to. D. Disability (developmental). No developmental disability My lack of inherent developmental disabilities is a privilege in today’s ableist society. Although I do not struggle to work with those who have disabilities, I need to be socially competent and examine the life experiences of my clients who fit into this category to meet the clients where they are. D. Disability (acquired). PTSD, Agoraphobia My acquired disabilities allow me to relate to people who encounter personal challenges that they were not inherently born with. However, my disabilities do afford me insight into every disability and I would benefit from caution in feeling fully informed. How my body works also provides me with privilege in today’s ableist society. R. Religion and spiritual identity. Zen Buddhist I do not struggle to work with clients who have varying religious beliefs from my own. However, I am privileged in the sense that my faith is not widely stereotyped in the way that many others historically have been. E. Ethnicity and racial identity. African American/Black As a woman of color, I am 1

informed on the social issues facing BIPOC people in America. I do not have racial privilege, as black people are often marginalized in society today. However, I find myself able to work with most people but would struggle with a white supremacist client, as our beliefs are so vividly contrasting. S. Socioeconomic status. I am a university-educated Black woman. I identify with the upper-middle-class status. I am privileged, both in my education status as well as my income bracket. However, I am not biased against lower-income individuals, as I grew up with very few resources. Because I have experienced a range of socio-economic standing, I work well with clients in multiple financial S. Sexual orientation. Pansexual I currently work as a therapist in a Queer-friendly clinic. As a person who identifies as pansexual, I may have some advantages in that I can understand the dynamics of multiple sexual identities and orientations. However, I might find it difficult to work with clients who are extremely conservative in their values, or who were openly abusive to the Queer community. I. Indigenous heritage. I am a person of color but do not know my indigenous heritage As a person of color, I do not have any privilege in this area. I do not have biases against indigenous people and have historically worked well with diverse heritages. N. National origin. United States As a person who was born in the United States, I have inherent social privilege compared to many people who live in the US but were born in other countries. I have no difficulties working with people from diverse nationalities. 2

G. Gender. Cis Female I am female, and in America, women are not paid as much as men. I have no privilege associated with my gender. I may struggle to work with men who display traits associated with toxic masculinity. After filling out the table above, review your entries. Then use the space below and respond to the following: Based on your entries in the table above, evaluate three areas where you have privilege and three areas where you do not (this is also part of the first discussion in this course). Provide examples of each. Three areas where I have identified I have privilege are socio-economic status, religion, and national origin. I identify as upper-middle class. This affords me a lifestyle free of concern for how I will access healthcare, food, or safe housing. I have religious privilege as well. Although Buddhism is not the primary faith in my community, it is not ostracized, stereotyped, or the subject of oppressive regulation. National Origin is my most significant privilege of the three mentioned here. While the American political climate becomes more aggressive toward immigration, I benefit from the inherent privilege that comes with being naturalized as an American citizen and living in America. This is as opposed to those who were not naturalized in America and often face mass generalization and stereotypes. Although these are liberties that I tend to take for granted regularly, there are people here in my city who cannot say the same. Therein lies my privilege. Three areas of my life where I lack privilege are gender, sexual orientation, and ethnicity. Women are not paid equally to men in America and are often stereotyped as emotional and unable to make sound decisions in leadership. I identify as Pansexual and so much of society has evolved, but many organizations and individuals still staunchly oppose supporting the Queer community. Sometimes, people who identify as Queer are subjected to hate crimes and terrible violence. I honestly felt a little exposed just listing myself as pansexual here, for fear of feeling exposed. I have not even told most of my family, and I almost just marked myself as heterosexual for the assignment. In the interest of truly understanding my perspective and my bias, I opted for open honesty here. My ethnicity as an African American woman 3

is an example of where I lack privilege. Society has marginalized black women and labeled us with stereotypical judgments such as we are loud, ghetto, uneducated, and promiscuous. I have gone to restaurants with my hair in an afro and been treated terribly by all service staff. I have been called a “statistic” by ignorant people in hateful rants, despite being a married military veteran with advanced degrees. I have sometimes found myself shrinking in public to avoid being seen as too much for a black girl. This lack of privilege and outward marginalization impacts my life and behaviors most significantly. Evaluate how your own cultural identities or other factors may influence you to have any biases concerning others with different cultural identities. I would like to think that I have no cultural biases at all. I have worked hard to become a competent social worker who practices perpetual cultural humility. I have a hunger for learning about people so I can meet the clients where they are. However, my experiences shade all of my perceptions, so I’m digging to identify the potential for bias. I believe in strong women, and allowing all people to speak their minds, so cultures that oppressed people or prohibited women from having a voice would be difficult for me to relate to. I would have to do some research and humble myself to serve this client well. Additionally, I must admit my queerness would make me outwardly biased against someone who believed in the abolition of Queer expression. Analyze the implications your cultural identifications may have on your professional relationships. My professional relationships are often enhanced by my cultural identifications. I have been honored to serve on diversity boards, create and facilitate specialized training, and have in some environments, been encouraged to further explore myself by the affirmation of my colleagues. However, in other circumstances, my identification as a woman, a person of color, a veteran, and a queer individual, has not been well-received. I felt prejudged in some professional relationships and often felt stifled. It was difficult to be myself in places where I could see my diverse cultural and personal identity would not be appreciated or understood. Reference Hays, P. A. (2008).
