“…Even subsequently, the value for diversity has not been consistently reflected in the work of the field (French & D'Augelli, ; Martin, Lounsbury & Davidson, ; Trickett, Watts & Birman, ). Over the years, there have been several efforts to systematically review attention to particular dimensions of diversity within the formal community psychology literature field, i.e., race and ethnicity (Bernal & Enchautegui‐de‐Jesus, ; Graham & Ismail, ; Loo, Fong & Iwamasa, ), gender (Angelique & Culley, , ; Bond & Mulvey, ; Swift, Bond & Serrano‐Garcia, ), sexual orientation (Harper & Schneider, ), disability (Dowrick & Keys, ; McDonald, Raymaker & Gibbons, ), and aging (Cheng & Heller, ; Hostetler & Paterson, ). All of these reviews have revealed significant gaps in community psychology's actualization of our professed value for attention to lives of members of diverse groups.…”

“…Work on LGBTQ issues has emerged somewhat more slowly (Harper & Wilson, ; Nieves‐Lugo, Rohrbeck, Nakamura & Zea, ). Community psychology work that directly addresses social class (Bullock, ; Shinn & McCormack, ) and disabilities (Balcazar & Suarez‐Balcazar, ; McDonald et al., ) is still relatively slim but growing.…”

“…Community psychology adopts—and can expand—paradigms that move us forward. The new Handbook of Community Psychology (Bond et al., ) includes numerous analyses that contextualize differences (e.g., Gone et al., ; Harper & Wilson, ; McDonald et al., ) and that offers frameworks for better understanding qualities of settings (Bond & Wasco, ; Seidman & Cappella, ). These constitute a rich set of resources.…”

To take up the AJCP editor's call to think forward in this article, I offer up three challenges that revolve around further contextualizing our understandings of diversity, i.e., reconsidering the notion of "difference" between discrete categories; more fully emphasizing diversity as socially situated; and further delving into local, setting-specific practices that shape the meanings of diversity. Enhanced attention to these three challenges can transform theory, research, and action about diversity as we move into community psychology's next 50 years.

“…This article sought to contribute to the literature by explicating the context specific features that have enabled members of this organization to resist the pervasive stigmatization commonly imposed upon people with disabilities. With this in mind, this study aimed to address the concerns that highlight the relatively sparse research and action reports in community psychology that are responsive to the struggles of people with disabilities (Balcazar & Suarez‐Balcazar, 2017; Goodley & Lawthom, 2005; McDonald et al, 2017).…”

This study investigated how a local disability organization in Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia, has functioned as an empowering setting for its members. This article discusses, in particular, the context specific features that have enabled members of this organization to resist the pervasive stigmatization commonly imposed upon people with disabilities. The research data was collected through interviews with 18 members of the organization and analyzed using the method of constructivist grounded theory. The findings suggest that this organization exists as an empowering setting because it functions as a mindset changer, an alternative resource center, and fosters supportive and courageous allies. Through this empowerment, members can challenge the normalized stigmatization and promote more emancipatory identities, particularly in a rural context where some socio‐cultural aspects may further complicate the disadvantages of people with disabilities. Implications for future research and disability interventions are discussed.

Refortalecimiento is a strategy for transformation that started with a debate with the empowerment theory. We have been clarifying the notion of refortalecimiento from experiences at communities and academic’s scenarios. As a result, we need to re-imagine some of our concepts to address the consequences of inequalities. In this article, we will present some reflections about three concepts: intervention, prevention model, and empowerment theory based in an Intervention-Investigation (I-I) realized in a community with a group of mothers of children with disabilities (diverse abilities) in an impoverish community in Puerto Rico. We confirmed the need to reevaluate the impact of different concepts/perspectives operating within the project that undermine the implementation process. We learned that the beauty of this process resides on the reciprocity and the fortalezas (strengths) that takes place within all the people involved. But we also find out neoliberal values as: individualism, competition, and everyone for themselves presented great obstacles to overcome discrimination and disparities.
