This approach comes from the field of systemic family therapy. The word links to a way of working that acknowledges the many areas of difference between individuals and groups of people, it supports professionals to be aware of unequal power and difference.
Therapists, Social Workers, and health professionals, need to be aware of the barriers to access to services in their clients’ life situations. One way to help us become intentionally more positively aware, sensitive and respectful is the Social GRACES, Health Care Cafe will take all of the GRACES into consideration when forming a support plan:
- Gender
- Gender identity
- Geography
- Race
- Religion
- Age
- Ability
- Appearance
