THINK Outside the Box: Integrating a DisCrit Framework With a Trauma‐Informed Care Approach to Black Disability Justice

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT The THINK model, a Disability Critical Race Theory (DisCrit) framework and trauma‐informed care approach for working with Black Americans with disabilities in counseling, acknowledges intersections of race, disability, and historical trauma. Systemic racism and ableism compound the challenges faced, and counselors must use a culturally responsive, trauma‐informed lens. We encourage counselors to THINK outside the box through transformative education, holistically honoring intersectionality, inclusivity, and accessibility, nurturing community connections, and engaging in ongoing knowledge and critical self‐reflection.
