When using an IRP intervention, the "all quadrants all levels" (AQAL) approach offers a comprehensive understanding of the situation, allowing one to then decide which two or three “hotspots” are the most crucial and can be addressed within practical limits. This model guides us in touching base with all of the quadrants, or dimension-perspectives, in supporting restoration and development. It allows room for a variety of supportive modalities to be offered. At the same time, we are guided to work with the family, community, sub-culture, or larger culture in terms of increasing awareness and consciously considering how “We” treat each other, as well as actively strengthening social networks.
