Download or read book Aboriginal Healthworkers written by Bill Genat and published by ISBS. This book was released on 2006 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aboriginal healthworkers are employed by Australian primary health care services to help bridge the gap between the Western medical clinic and their own kin. Much controversy surrounds what they can and should be doing. Aboriginal Healthworkers looks at what healthworkers do, what they think about their work, and how their work is perceived by doctors, nurses, social workers, transport workers, and, crucially, their Aboriginal clients. The author's unique contribution brings ethnographic methods to his study of a group of urban healthworkers, and allows their voices to be heard. Healthworkers speak frankly about the state of Aboriginal primary health care in Australia. Daily visits to homes of families whose health continues to be eroded by the historical legacy of exclusion, cultural oppression, and racism highlight the serious lack of professional recognition and support. In response, this powerful book portrays the unique healing practice offered by Aboriginal healthworkers and urges that practical steps be taken to bolster their holistic approach.

Download or read book A Theory for Indigenous Australian Health and Human Service Work written by Lorraine Muller and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-25 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2015 Educational Publishing Awards Australia - Scholarly Resource Most people of European background are not aware that they see the world through the lens of the Western tradition, but for Indigenous people, it can seem like a foreign language. Indigenous ways of thinking and working are grounded in many thousands of years of oral tradition, and continue among Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people today. Lorraine Muller shows that understanding traditional holistic approaches to social and emotional wellbeing is essential for practitioners working with Indigenous clients across the human services. She explores core principles of traditional Indigenous knowledge in Australia, including relatedness, Country, circular learning, stories, and spirituality. She then shows how these principles represent a theory for Indigenous practice. A Theory for Indigenous Australian Health and Human Service Work offers a deep insight into Indigenous Australian ways of working with people, in the context of a decolonisation framework. It is an invaluable resource for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous practitioners and researchers in health, social work, community work, education and related fields. 'In today's global environment, where Indigenous Peoples continue to fight for self-determination, Muller's work is an exemplary model of Indigenous self- determination. It is bound to be a foundational model of Indigenous practice in field of health and well-being.' - Michael Hart, Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Knowledges and Social Work, University of Manitoba 'Lorraine Muller's work covers some centrally important issues for those that work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and who want to understand indigenous knowledge frameworks.' - Dr Mark Wenitong, Apunipima Cape York Health Council

Download or read book The Role and Practice of Aboriginal Health Workers in the Great Southern and South West Regions of Western Australia written by Naomi Gail Smith and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information collected during the interviews and focus group discussions revealed that Aboriginal health workers undertook a range of work activities and performed a number of different roles. They hold a holistic view of health and were committed to providing culturally appropriate primary health care services to the Aboriginal people. The study found that Aboriginal health workers in the Great Southern and South West regions received different amounts of orientation and training to become qualified. Many health workers believed that they received little or no recognition of their formal qualifications from management, health personnel or government, and that there was confusion about their classifications and pay levels relevant to their positions. Most health workers believed the regulations governing their organisations were in conflict with the holistic health services that they strive to deliver, and some believed that restrictive financial constraints on their organisation hindered them from providing effective services. Finally, the general feeling amongst health workers was that they needed more support from managers in all areas of their work. The concerns expressed by Aboriginal health workers who took part in this study were further demonstrated by the number of resignations that occurred during the two year period in which the research was undertaken.provide non-t.
Download or read book Collaborative and Indigenous Mental Health Therapy written by Wiremu NiaNia and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-12-01 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines a collaboration between traditional Māori healing and clinical psychiatry. Comprised of transcribed interviews and detailed meditations on practice, it demonstrates how bicultural partnership frameworks can augment mental health treatment by balancing local imperatives with sound and careful psychiatric care. In the first chapter, Māori healer Wiremu NiaNia outlines the key concepts that underpin his worldview and work. He then discusses the social, historical, and cultural context of his relationship with Allister Bush, a child and adolescent psychiatrist. The main body of the book comprises chapters that each recount the story of one young person and their family’s experience of Māori healing from three or more points of view: those of the psychiatrist, the Māori healer and the young person and other family members who participated in and experienced the healing. With a foreword by Sir Mason Durie, this book is essential reading for psychologists, social workers, nurses, therapists, psychiatrists, and students interested in bicultural studies.
