Are you confused, unsure, unconfident or simply trying to improve your practice when it comes to working with First Nations people? Have you considered how social justice and equity should influence your practice?
In this workshop, participants will begin to develop the knowledge and skills to be positive advocates and allies for First Nations mental health.
Improving the mental health of First Nations people in Australia requires proactive, engaged and reflective practitioners. The purpose of this workshop is to empower participants to be effective allies for First Nations people in both clinical practice and everyday life. Building on evidence-based research and Indigenous psychology, in this workshop, participants will unpack concepts of cultural safety, allyship and ethical practice for working with First Nations peoples.
Using interactive group sessions, participants will learn to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ ways of knowing, being and affirm and protect these factors in health care practice; reflect on the ongoing influence of colonisation on mental health; explore the concepts of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander social and emotional wellbeing model; generate strategies for active allyship within professional practice; learn about effective communication within clinical relationships; and explore specific ethical guidelines for working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
With a mix of self-reflective activities, roundtable discussions and interactive exercises, participants will begin to develop the knowledge and skills to be positive advocates and allies for First Nations mental health.
