Help from within ' a conference for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workers
This Toolbox supports the Certificate II in Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Primary Health Care. It provides a media-rich learning environment combining advice and information from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members as well as Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal health practitioners working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
The Toolbox’s purpose is to develop an understanding and knowledge of the impact of social, political, economic and environmental factors on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as a foundation to working as health practitioners in a culturally safe way.
The skills developed have broad applications, not just in the health sector.
The learner target audience is a diverse group. Traditionally, women have predominated in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health worker positions but there is a trend for more males to enter this field of practice.
The learning emphasis is on providing learners with a wealth of experience through interviews and stories from community members and health practitioners, and examples of successful health promotion programs. The Toolbox provides learners with a number of learning pathways from which they can choose the one that best suits their needs. Audio and narrative teaching strategies are extensively and instructionally used as these are traditional and preferred methods of communication in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Each of the five learning sequences (conference workshops) comprises interactive learning activities to engage the learner, and an activity involving direct communication with the community and other health workers. Each assessment task is frameworked on the effective use of communication strategies.
