Helms' White Racial Identity Model is a framework that outlines the stages of racial identity development for White individuals. It consists of six stages: Contact, Disintegration, Reintegration, Pseudo-Independence, Immersion/Emersion, and Autonomy. Each stage reflects a different level of awareness and understanding of race and racism, starting from a lack of awareness to a more nuanced and informed perspective. The model emphasizes the importance of recognizing and addressing systemic racism and encourages individuals to move beyond their initial stages. By progressing through these stages, individuals can develop a healthier racial identity and foster more meaningful relationships with people of other racial backgrounds.
