. With the feminist critique and growing awareness of cultural influences, The Center for Integration, Inc. expects all professionals attend to issues concerning gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, race, socioeconomic status, religion, spirituality, etc , especially in the supervisory and training context. The Center for Integration is committed to transparency and open dialogue about all differences. Contextual influences that are visible and spoken about openly, are more easily addressed. Communication between all staff, associates, contractors, employees, volunteers, trainees and supervisors is essential to ensure specific supervisory methods to promote contextual sensitivity in provide supervisory guidelines for when to focus on contextual influences and when not to focus on them, and to address more complex issues, such as dealing with diversity that is less visible. We expect open lines of communication and honesty with a commitment to inclusivity is the best practice, and when in doubt, erring on the side of the commitment to inclusivity in all possible ways with a willingness to reflect and evolve to meet the current needs.
