The Addressing Model

The “ADDRESSING” model, created by Pamela Hays, speaks to the socially constructed social identities that form the basis of our realities. It serves as a means of comprehending privilege and marginalisation, helping us understand our own lived experiences and ways we can be more intersectional in our work. Hays posits that factors such as age and generation, developmental disabilities, acquired disabilities, religion and spirituality, ethnicity and race, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, indigenous heritage, national origin, and gender identity are essential for a thorough understanding of cultural identity. In what areas do you hold power and privilege? Which areas are of minority status?
