5 Impact of history and culture on the caring role
6 Please watch the below video
7 Discussion What are some factors raised in the video? Please note your initial thoughts, i.e. on your worksheet
8 Discussion What are some factors raised in the video? Historical Pressure to assimilate into Western culture loss of cultural identity Prevalent racism and social exclusion Lack of awareness of the diversity of Aboriginal cultures and communities Past experience with agencies such as police or welfare As a consequence, many Aboriginal carers are reluctant to access mainstream services
9 Discussion What are some factors raised in the video? Cultural Caring for family, including extended family, is a common occurrence and is rarely questioned by those taking on the caring responsibilities Caring arrangements can be complex; for example: Carers may care for several persons Persons receiving care may have several carers Caring arrangements may be reciprocal Carers may undertake a range of tasks not typically associated with caring roles. As a consequence, caring situations often go unnoticed and carers are not adequately supported
10 Discussion How would this affect the way you work with carers in the Aboriginal community? Please note your thoughts, i.e. on your worksheet
11 Impact of family structures and values on the caring role
12 Please watch the below video
13 Discussion What are some factors raised in the video? Please note your initial thoughts, i.e. on your worksheet
14 Discussion What are some factors raised in the video? Caring is part of what families do, and people who provide care rarely label themselves carers The complexity of family relationships is reflected in the complexity of caring roles It is common that a large number of people, i.e. extended family and multiple generations, lives in the same house Extended family can be a valuable source of support for carers Carers may be reluctant to agree to home visits out of fear of being judged for the way they live Caring roles can be complicated when families are involved with police or welfare agencies Reluctance to seek assistance with medical issues can result in caring situations remaining undetected Where a person who requires care has children, it is not uncommon for the carer to take on parenting on top of caring responsibilities
15 Discussion How would this affect the way you work with carers in the Aboriginal community? Please note your thoughts, i.e. on your worksheet
16 Messages for community organisations
17 Please watch the below video
18 Discussion What are some messages raised in the video? Please note your initial thoughts, i.e. on your worksheet
19 Discussion The following slide displays comments drawn from the interviews, and other feedback received from carers and staff Please consider the notes you made, i.e. on your worksheet, as you reflect on the following comments
20 Keep an open mind don t judge what you see at people s houses Avoiding eye contact is polite in some communities, particularly in cross-gender interactions Anything else you can think of?...
21 Discussion From all you have heard and seen in this slide show, what are the key messages you will take home with you as an individual friend or family member? as a carer? as a worker in the sector? as a champion for carers? Please note your thoughts, i.e. on your worksheet
22 Key messages and resources
23 Key messages Think about: What ideas will I take back to my workplace? What new practices will I use in future? How will I be more effective in working with carers in the Aboriginal community?
24 Key messages Due to historical and cultural factors, Aboriginal carers are less likely to identify or be identified as carers, or to access supports from mainstream services. Complex family structures and traditional values influence how family members care for each other, how caring is viewed, and how community organisations need to approach and support carers. Whilst Aboriginal groups and cultures are diverse, there are things that can be done to better support carers in Aboriginal communities. These include: Respecting their privacy, culture and right not to be judged for how they live Communicating in a culturally sensitive manner Investing in Aboriginal staff, a culturally aware workforce and meeting spaces that are welcoming for Aboriginal people Responding to the complexity of caring roles by offering multi-faceted and flexible supports Supporting carers in the context of their family and social networks.
