For the entire Campbell family, I would use the multicultural therapy method to help them understand where their parents and relatives are from, which will account for the reasons as to why and how they landed in the neighborhood that they did. Through multicultural therapy (MCT), the social worker uses the client’s cultural backgrounds, family tree, and other worldly cultural experiences to help the client better understand their own identity and how they are shaped by it. By definition, “Multicultural counseling assumes that each person’s identity has been shaped by a great number of cultures and that effective counseling will address these different cultural identities in each client and community of clients,” (Craighead, E.W, 2004). The therapist/social worker has to be able to be flexible in their thinking so that their negative opinions regarding culture does not roll over into the client’s thoughts/process; being culturally aware at all times (Comas-Díaz, L. (2017). Two ethical standards from the NASW that I will use with the Campbell family during this session are dignity & worth of the person, along with understanding the importance of human relationships. Understanding each other individually and as a family might aid in the communication that is presently lacking in the household. The need to family throughout our lives is crucial for Campbell because they need each other to go through life. The children need their mother to be sober and drive them to school, and sports practice. The father is needed to help raise his son Jacob and he is also needed to be a more attentive husband to his wife. For the daughter Kali, she needs the entire family to understand her, the lifestyle that she is comfortable living and to be able to walk with her through any path that she chooses, rather than go straight to judgement. Kali- Race: Mexican and Caucasian Class: The middle/working class Gender: Female Sexual Orientation: Bi-Sexual Nationality: American Gender Identity: Female For this area of concern, I would use the multicultural framework as a tool during this engagement process with a client. Through the use of the explanatory models of distress, “client’s own perspectives on their symptoms or problems and initiates a process of balancing the hierarchy of power inherent in the clinical encounter,” (Comas-Díaz, L. (2017). By asking the client about specific questions to how they feel, and what they think about the situation she is in or how she feels from the treatment that she receives

from her family versus the treatment that she receives from someone else who she believes loves her, the girlfriend. References: 1. Comas-Díaz, L. (2017). Multicultural therapy.
