Families are as unique as the individuals who form them. While you may utilize the same or similar techniques, while working with family systems (through the steps in the GIM and related practice skills), it is also important to recognize that each family has its own unique needs and experiences in the world.
The empowerment perspective states that an essential aspect of working with individuals and families is to address their feelings of powerlessness and oppression. Empowerment is a process; and one part of that process is to gain an awareness of the oppressive structures evident in our society.
Oppression, in the form of racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia, can impact a family's quality of life and ability to thrive. Empowerment practice includes discussing potential societal barriers that may have contributed to the family's concerns.
