A general framework for understanding differing abilities and strategies for differentiated interventions (CACREP 2.F.3.h)

This is a picture of Alice Wong, an author and disability rights advocate who argues that our society would benefit from being more inclusive of people with disabilities because they offer a diversity of experience and abilities compared to society at large that can improve the lives of everyone. Reading her book completely changed the way I look at disability rights issues.

Systemic and environmental factors that affect human development, functioning, and behavior (CACREP 2.F.3.f)

Systemic racism effects development in a variety of interconnected ways, but in this example Black youth are far more likely than White youth to be incarcerated at a young age. This has huge impacts on their life trajectory as it effects educational attainment, social development, and the incarceration can be traumatic all by itself which has effects of its own. Recognizing the structural advantages I have and the disadvantages others have has had a big impact on how I see the world.

Theories and etiology of addictions and addictive behaviors (CACREP 2.F.3.d)

When I worked in foster care I only saw a handful of cases in 4 years that weren't drug related in some way. The effect this has on a child's development is huge, if nothing else the trauma of being removed from your home and forced to live with strangers can be severe. In my experience there were also very often big cultural differences between the mostly middle or upper middle class foster parents and the foster kids who mostly grew up well below the poverty line which had effects as well. This is not even mentioning the effects of the abuse or neglect that led to their removal in the first place.

Ethical and culturally relevant strategies for promoting resilience and optimum development and wellness across the lifespan (CACREP 2.F.3.i)

Mental and physical health are essential for optimum development and wellness across the lifespan. One thing I like to do that is good for both is hiking. It is good exercise and also being in nature is a natural stress reliever.

One way I prioritize my spiritual development is living a value focused life. Helping people is important to me and working on a career like counseling that allows me to do that professionally has made my life a lot better.
