Title: Chapter 16 Question 11

11) In sum and in your own words, what is the culturally grounded approach to social work?

Feedback:The culturally grounded approach to social work puts forth a horizontal relationship based on humility and honest exchanges that positions both the practitioner-researcher and the community as the experts. Researchers are always willing to ask questions and think outside their comfort zone. The culturally grounded social worker is aware of how their privilege affects access to the community. The culturally grounded approach recognizes that there are advantages and disadvantages of being “outsiders” and “insiders.” In either case, both need to approach the community with humility and self-awareness.
