About this subject
In this subject, you will explore the impact from invasion to today of the three colonialist Ps - the policies, politics and polities - on the health, social and emotional wellbeing of First Nations communities in what is now known Australia. This includes the effects of the three Ps on the cultural identity of First Nations people and how they are represented as well as their access to healthcare. You will have an opportunity to critically examine how political parties have funded and continue to fund activities in line with policies informed by colonialist ideas. You will also learn about how and by whom these policies were enacted. With this understanding, you will be introduced to the importance of cultural responsiveness and a strengths-based approach with First Nations communities. You will be provided with practical strategies and ways of working and communicating in a culturally responsive way. This will allow you to practise being person-centred, or treating someone as a person first, and continuously reflect on your own ways of being and working. It will also enable you to build your emotional intelligence and ability to become aware of and challenge your own beliefs so you can contribute positively to the experience of First Nations people you work with.
