Hays ADDRESSING Model Template COMPLETE ALL AREAS OF THIS TABLE FOR YOUR ASSESSMENT 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 what groups might be easy or difficult to work with. A. Age (and generational influences). 35, Millennial I frequently work with children and adolescents (just born to 18). This is my privilege as I am seen as very mature, both personally and professionally due to my profession and career. D. Disability (developmental). No disabilities This is also a privilege for me because I don't require any specialized or one-on-one care to suit my demands. D. Disability (acquired). No acquired disability This is also a privilege for me as I do not require any specialized services. R. Religion and spiritual identity. My family is Catholic, and I was reared in that faith. When I turned 15, I stopped going to services. As I decided to stop practicing Catholicism, I would find it difficult to maintain good relationships with older relatives.  I hardly ever discuss my faith at work or outside of work. As a result, I have not encountered any difficulties as a result of my faith. E. Ethnicity and racial identity. I come from European decedents and identify as Caucasian. I would find it challenging to work in partnership with individuals who are racists. S. Socioeconomic status. Middle class Individuals who are entitled and wealthy would be challenging for me to collaborate with as most believe they are superior to everyone else. 1
S. Sexual orientation. Heterosexual Overall, I have no issues working with people who are not of the same sexual orientation as I am. My father is gay. I. Indigenous heritage. Born and raised in the United States. I do not find it difficult to work with anyone from any heritage. N. National origin. I was born in the United States and am a citizen of the United States. It would be hard to work with someone who does not speak English as I only know the English language. G. Gender. Male I can work with any gender as long as we are all treated equal. After filling out the table above, review your entries. Then use the space below and respond to the following: 1. Based on your entries to 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. Privilege: 1. Age: Currently, I am 35, which is the ideal age to advance my career. I have advanced my career to a Program Director already at this age. 2. Disability (developmental): I am privileged in this sense since I do not have a formal disability diagnosis, which qualifies me to belong to the majority. Another reason I am privileged is because I do not have a disability, it has allowed me to pursue my academic and professional goals. I am given greater chances to develop both personally and professionally due to being privileged. 3. Sexual Orientation I am aware from my father and his friends' experiences regarding firsthand knowledge of discrimination based on sexual orientation. My sexual orientation has never been a factor in the denial of equal treatment or privileges. It puts blinders on until the discrimination affects individuals that you know, even though I'm not entirely unaware of it. No Privilege: 1. Socioeconomic status: I am not privileged in this regard because I experienced financial difficulties during my time in college. I have a sizable debt from student loans when I graduated with my Bachelor of Science. At the moment, I have a great job with a decent rate of pay. I have to continually review my spending habits because I must still pay back my loans and provide for my family. 2. Religion and Spiritual Identity: Since I was not raised in a religious family, I lack privilege in the area of religion. Even though my upbringing encouraged individuality and innovation, I do believe in a God. I could broaden my 2
understanding of different religions and look more closely at any that I think I might identify with. The ability to relate to others more and expose myself to different faiths or cultural identities may result from my understanding of my own faith choices and values. 3. Gender: I lack privilege due to my gender professionally. Many individuals in my profession are females, which due to me being a male, many individuals do not think I have compassion, a heart, or understanding. I am looked at as threatening. 2. Evaluate how your own cultural identities or other factors may possibly influence you to have any biases in relation to others with different cultural identities. I believe that I would have bias against cultures that differ from the norm in America. I don't have anything against other cultures, but I lack the knowledge about them to know how to interact with them properly or what they might offer. Due to my lack of international travel, I am unable to recognize or fully comprehend other cultures. Due to my lack of exposure, I would feel very strange and uncomfortable in other cultures. I might be able to anticipate these actions without realizing they have already taken place. It would be more of a battle in the mind. 3. Analyze the implications your cultural identifications may have on your professional relationships. The implications I previously discussed do not appear to have any bearing on my present employment. Most of the clients I work with share my background, but there are a few who do not. I work with people who are mostly white in a rural area. Although the population is quite diverse, the majority of people are low to middle class. Even though I've had contact with people from other cultures, I still would not know how to properly interact with their cultural ways. I want to get better at this and give myself more chances to experience different cultures. This might be advantageous for my future career because I will need to understand different cultures in order to establish a relationship with my clients and support their success. While I'm still at my current job, I might want to work on this in case a situation arises where I'll need this understanding. 3
