Working with Context, Identity/Diversity and Universal Equity

The purpose of these sessions is to understand and apply an embedded approach to therapeutic practice, where context, identity, diversity, and universal equity are embedded by design (not as an add-on)—referred to as 'Whole-Person' or 'Client in Context' Practice. This includes knowledge, awareness, and skills in embedding social and personal context, difference, and diversity ‘as standard’ for all clients (as well as becoming more self-aware of your own whole context).
