Thank you, Dr. Day-Vines, for teaching us a framework on learning more about ourselves, how may relate to each other, and how we can begin to make changes at the organizational level! 🙂
Here’s what I understood.
The 4 Multidimensional Model of Broaching Behavior Dimension (MMBB): intracounseling, intraindividual, intra-race/ethnicity/culture (REC), and inter-REC.
1. Intracounseling Dimensions-This is when we invite a person to explore issues related to race, ethnicity, and culture.
“We’re from different cultures and I wonder how you feel.”
Minimize those gaps.
2. Intraindividual Dimension – Has to do with intersectionality. One person has multiple identities that make up their experience.
3. Intra-racial/ethnic/cultural dimension (REC). These are within group kinds of tensions, such as social class differences, or immigration status in families. People from the same group have different views.
4. Inter racial, ethnic, and cultural dimensions. This is where we deal with racism and other forms of discrimination.

This was so essential for my training and learning as a newly licensed therapist. Thank you, Dr. Day-Vines! I hope I get to hear you speak again soon in the future. As Ravi Chandra, MD mentioned, you bring “profound work” into the field, and I am so thankful for the information you shared. I hope to find and take the BABs survey and I want to create a “cheat sheet” so I can get more comfortable and confident in learning broaching skills. Thank you so much!
This presentation was rich in content and beautifully delivered. Thank you!
This session was amazing! Packed full of the most cutting edge information about very challenging and sensitive issues.
Thank you for this very valuable conversation!
This session was so valuable to me. I’m so grateful to be introduced to Dr. Day-Vines and her work. This topic is so important and I’m often in a position to improve and practice my broaching skills.
Thank you so much, Norma. First time I have ever had guidance on broaching racial, ethnic and cultural identity issues with clients. For me, I experienced myself receiving a profound supervision session…and at a time in my practice when I am transitioning into retirement.
Dr. Day-Vines’ supervisees are lucky! Wonderful teaching style. Thank you
On the …..isms…..try the tried and tested….love ….(subject of ism) hate (subjjectof ism..)ok ya….xx
Yes organisations need a lot of work…..look at the (literally)blood sweat and tears put in at The Met following stephen lawrence (macpherson and after)
Great stuff..relevant..dont we just know so much more than the acculyuration gradient (chirico) now…..not wishing to detract from chirico s earlier very valid and very hard work.
This is so far mir on it!! Thank you…better than back in the day!! No pain no gain!!
I am grateful to have participated as I continue to seek ways to grow in my awareness of how how to create a safe space for myself to learn to create safe space for others.
Thanks

Wonderful approaches for inclusion. Thank you
Great session and v informative and inspiring
I am a university placement instructor of graduate students in school/clinical counseling. This was wonderful and inspiring!
Outstanding! Thank you!
It’s interesting how various questions can be asked or subjects talked about to open the patient to share what is in their minds.
All the avenues of a person are so often fixed in one view by many, not just therapist but by the general public, that one may slip into believing this falsehood of oneself, which can be a trapdoor opening into suffering. Thank you so much for this presentation on Broaching. I am a Movement Therapist, who became a Psych R.N. and as such my approach differed from other nurses/MD on the unit. I think I had been using the Boaching model without knowing it as a natural way of cutting through stuff.
