Background

About Adrienne A.

Women belong in all places where decisions are being made. It shouldn’t be that women are the exception.” - Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Life challenges bestow opportunities for achievement. As an advocate for cultural exchange and social justice, I promote an interdisciplinary approach to family and gender studies to mediate issues and find a resolution. As a confident and self-driven Texas Woman’s University graduate, I strive to remedy factors that impact and derail family systems. Specific interests bring forward voices of marginalized bodies who once were discriminated against, exploited, or displaced within society because of race, gender, or age. The National Council on Family Relations (NCFR) requires that Certified Family Life Educators (CFLE), like myself, abide by the NCFR ethical standards, one of which is. • IV of the CFLE Ethics: 2. I will be aware of the boundaries of our practice and know when and how to use other community resources to benefit family members (MCFT, 2009). To honor these boundaries, my discussions with clients will contain questions that will stimulate a better understanding of their goals, motives, and values. By communicating this way, ownership and responsibility are given to the individual as they gain insight into their innate knowledge and ability. By engaging families with thought-provoking questions, we unpack biases and discover honest evaluations that solve difficult circumstances.
