HLTHIR404D - Work effectively with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people

Post by magic_dudu » Sun Mar 29, 2015 12:32 pm

Hi everyone,
I am hoping to have some assistance on the below case study.
Alice lives in a regional centre and is one of the few remaining members of her kinship group. Alice’s health is deteriorating and she needs full-time care. Her husband, Jack is a non-Indigenous Australian. He is managing as best he can, but together they have to face the inevitable: Alice will have to go into residential care. Alice is resisting this. There will be no other Indigenous people in the facility and she knows she just won’t ‘hit it off’ with a lot of the other residents. Alice and Jack are the caregivers of David, a young boy at your early childhood education and care service. You are concerned about the impact that Alice’s departure may have on David, and how this may affect his cultural learning and identity.
Q1.Suggest what options and resources may be available to David that may help limit any negative cultural impacts.
Q2.Are there other options you could suggest for David?

This is quite a tough one, I have no idea where to start.
Please suggest. Thank you very much.

Warm Regards,
Melody
