Design Arts based Inquiry Social Work Client Trust Narrative Inquiry Empathy Driven Care Cross cultural relationships Analog Communication Tools This thesis employs arts-based, narrative inquiry to develop design tools that awaken empathy and trust-building in complex, cross-cultural, relationships. While applicable to multiple domains, the thesis focuses specifically on relationships among low-income, African-American, single mothers and their social service workers. This relationship is of particular interest because this population of women are statistically predisposed for negative health outcomes and they interact with social service workers in a range of non-traditional settings. Since social service workers are often overloaded with cases, they can neglect to employ empathic understanding when interacting with each client. The tools developed in this project can be used prescriptively or as a guide by the social worker during their interactions with clients to pursue the following outcomes: To awaken empathy within the social workers, themselves; and, to encourage young mothers to trust the social service worker at a time of life when they are vulnerable and in need of guidance. 2017 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1504799069495305 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1504799069495305 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
