When clinical teams disagree about mixed-race identity frameworks

Our therapy practice is trying to better serve mixed-race clients but our team keeps getting stuck on whether mixed-race identity is primarily about trauma and marginalization or resilience and creativity, and it's affecting how we're designing our approach. We all care about this population but we're coming at it from completely different frameworks.
