This work calls on healthcare institutions and organizations to move toward inclusive recognition and representation of healthcare practitioners whose credibility is established both inside and outside of professional licensure mechanisms. Despite professional licensure’s advantages, this credentialing mechanism has in many cases served to reinforce unjust sociocultural power relations in relation to ethnicity and race, class and gender. To foster health equity and the delivery of culturally-responsive care, it is essential that mechanisms other than licensure be recognized as legitimate pathways for community accountability, safety and quality assurance. Such mechanisms include certification with non-statutory occupational bodies, as well as community-based recognition pathways such as those engaged for Community Health Workers (including Promotores de Salud) and Indigenous healing practitioners. Implementation of this vision will require interdisciplinary dialogue and reconciliation, constructive collaboration, and shared decision making between healthcare institutions and organizations, practitioners and the communities they serve.

“…Overcome by their own loss and their ability to regulate their own emotions severely compromised, caregivers may not able to adequately attune to, validate, and otherwise respond to their grandchildren's traumatic experience-in particular, the affective dimension (Caliandro & Hughes, 1998;Ludwig, Imberti, Rodriguez, & Torrens, 2006;Walsh, 2007). Reduced grandparental caregiver capacity may often detract from their ability to implement effective ways of dealing with their grandchildren's problems, which may eventually lead to the deterioration of parent-child interactions and, in some cases, to child maltreatment (Crnic & Greenberg, 1998;Milner, 1995).…”

This study explores the utility of an innovative therapeutic modality for the intra-familial treatment of children who have experienced traumatic loss. A case study is presented of the application of child-in-family therapy (CIFT) with a 10-year-old boy orphaned in political violence and experiencing severe externalizing and acting-out behaviors in grandparental kinship care. CIFT is conceptualized within the context of social and family support for those coping with trauma and loss. The study underscores the phenomenon of family caregiving, and of grandparents raising grandchildren. It highlights the complexities of kinship care when caregivers are experiencing a parallel process of recovery from traumatic loss. The possibility for posttraumatic growth among grandparental caregivers is raised. The limitations and contraindications of CIFT are considered, as well as the implications of study findings for clinical social work practice with children who have undergone traumatic loss, social policy, and ongoing research.

A systemic modality may play an important role when grandparental caregivers are undergoing a concurrent process of recovery from traumatic loss.
