How do you know as a practitioner that you are culturally competent? How do you become inclusive in your practice? How do you relinquish power back to vulnerable Aboriginal children and their families and communities?
Within the Aboriginal community, there is an expectation regarding Social Workers that they can be either harmful or helpful. This recording discusses several practical strategies to assist you in engaging with Aboriginal children, families, and communities (including prior to entering a community) and how to build appropriate, professional relationships.
It reflects on how social workers can become more culturally responsive, inclusive, and empowering by gaining insights into the experiences of Aboriginal people and developing effective skills for engagement with Aboriginal communities.
The recording draws on storytelling examples and case studies to provide social workers with practical strategies to apply in their own professional practice when working with Aboriginal children and families.
The facilitator, an experienced Aboriginal Child Protection Social Worker, expands on introductory cultural awareness theories by providing real-life, practical examples to help practitioners develop their professional skills and abilities.
