They say where you come from doesn't matter as long as you go somewhere. Anyone who studies psychology, sociology or social work knows that this is not true. There are many factors that contribute to making a person who they are. A person is a product of his environment, and the community is the by-product of the groups and people living in it. We need to shape how we practice with clients, so that it fits everyone appropriately. Imagine a poor child on the south side of Chicago. His neighborhood is rundown and drugs are rampant in his community. The school system removed the textbooks from his classroom. His mother is a single mom and can barely make ends meet. All he hears is “you're gone, like it's your no".
