Challenging Existing Beliefs and Mainstream Methodologies
Abstract
Over the years, IWC has embedded itself as the lead provider of health and wellbeing services in our regions. Our achievements have been recognised across multiple domains and by State Premiers and Prime Ministers. IWC’s success is supported by community based foundations and core principles around: improving Indigenous peoples health and wellbeing; providing a pathway for opportunities; and attaining real and tangible outcomes that make a difference to people’s lives. The IWC service model harnesses a reconciliation-in-action response to the community. IWC has proven that “things can be done differently” by challenging existing beliefs and ways of doing business.
IWC utilises our robust and dynamic management service model to continue leading into the future, recognising that “good health” is much more than just a westernised and mainstream clinical measurement in time. In fact, the many facets to cultivating a person’s wellbeing is beyond the one dimensional methodology. This is underpinned by IWC’s Aboriginal Terms of Reference that consider whole-of-person needs. Our investments in diverse services continue to build on health care and address social determinants.
Key Presentation Components shall cover:
1. Community integration, development, and design.
2. Engagement and communication.
3. Embedding Culturally Responsive approaches.
4. Soft entry points to access services and allowing for other social determinant factors to be considered.
5. Suitable timeframes for services / applying therapies and treatments.
6. Client / patient experiences and situation is not necessarily categorized by mainstream / westernised models.
7. Client / patient outcomes can be rather different to your program / clinical needs.
8. Realisation that diversity and innovation must be incorporated for transformation and success.
The presentation will challenge the way you do things and what you perceive is / is not working.
