This document examines the differences and similarities between the women's movement and the service user/survivor movement relating to mental health. It discusses how they originated from different contexts, with the women's movement growing out of feminism and focusing on gender issues, while the user movement emphasized disability and poverty issues. Some key differences included views on medicalization, violence, and identities. However, there were also overlaps in seeking more holistic, person-centered services and challenging traditional power dynamics. The document considers implications for developing a social model of distress and building coalitions while recognizing both common and differentiated experiences.
This presentation explains what we have learnt about quality improvement in community health programmes in the six countries that we work in, their similarities and differences, and future directions.
This document provides information about the CHC33015 - Certificate III in Individual Support. The qualification prepares students for a role providing person-centered support to people needing assistance due to aging, disability, or other reasons. There are no academic prerequisites, but students need reasonable English, literacy, and numeracy skills. The course is delivered over two 18-week terms at the Sydney campus, including 120-180 hours of work placement depending on specializations. Fees include a $600 deposit with subsequent term payments.
Ageing is a natural process that involves physical, psychological, and social changes over time in humans. While some abilities decline with age, such as reaction time, other abilities can grow, like knowledge and wisdom. Research shows that development and growth are still possible even late in life. Population ageing is occurring globally as life expectancy increases and birth rates decrease. Successful ageing involves maintaining good physical and cognitive health and an active lifestyle. The causes of ageing include a decline in immunity, cells, strength, and adaptation over time. Common physical, mental, emotional, social, and economic changes that occur with ageing are also described.
- The brain shrinks in size and there is a reduction in gray and white matter. This leads to a loss of neurons and connections between brain regions.
- Blood flow to the brain decreases with age. Less blood flow can impair the delivery of oxygen and nutrients needed for optimal brain health.
- Levels of neurotransmitters important for cognitive processes like acetylcholine and serotonin decline. This impacts functions like memory and learning.
- The speed of nerve cell communication slows, affecting how quickly information is processed.
These neurological changes can manifest as mild cognitive impairment, with slower thinking, reduced ability

This document provides instructions for assessors to use a transition RPL kit to assess candidates transitioning from the CHC30212 Certificate III in Aged Care and CHC30312 Certificate III in Home and Community Care qualifications to the CHC33015 Certificate III in Individual Support. The kit includes tools to map competency gaps between the qualifications, ask competency questions, assign workplace tasks for observation, and document the RPL outcome. Assessors are instructed to contextualize the assessment to the candidate's specific work and use the various tools collectively to gather evidence of the candidate's skills and knowledge.
The document discusses the impact of aging on physiology, psychology, and social-emotional functioning. Physiologically, aging leads to declines in senses like vision and hearing, changes in skin and hair, loss of muscle and bone mass, and decreased function of organs like the heart, kidneys, and gastrointestinal system. Psychologically, cognitive functions like memory typically decline with age, though intelligence and personality remain stable. Rates of depression also tend to increase in older adults. Socially and emotionally, retirement, loss of friends and family, loneliness, and loss of independence can negatively impact well-being and self-esteem in aging individuals.
The document details the rights and responsibilities of those receiving community care services in Australia. Among the rights listed are to be treated with dignity, receive reliable and appropriate care, have privacy over personal information,

Aged care in_australia_introduction_feb_08jgoodburn
Aged care in Australia has evolved significantly over the past century. Originally, destitute elderly were incarcerated in asylums with basic support in the late 1800s. By the 1950s, the government began providing subsidies to charitable organizations to offer hostel-type accommodation. Major reforms in the 1980s established standards and principles to guide assessment, eligibility, and funding for community and residential aged care services. Today, aged care consists of informal, community, and residential care options to support older Australians aging in place.
This presentation covers legal and policy framework that governs how aged care services are run in Australia. This is part of our aged care courses - if you're interested in becoming a carer, or know someone who is, then call us on 1800 22 52 83 for a no-obligation chat.
Understanding the Physical Impacts of Ageing: A Course for CarersIHNA Australia
This presentation is about understanding how ageing affects people and their everyday lives. This slideshow covers:
1. Strategies carers can use to promote healthy lifestyle practices.
2. Common problems carers may face with ageing clients.
3. Physical changes associated with ageing.
4. The impact changes associated with ageing may have on a person's everyday activities.

1) The document discusses several theories of aging at the biological, psychological, and social levels. It covers theories such as lifespan development theory, selective optimization with compensation theory, and socioemotional selectivity theory.
2) Cognitive theories of aging propose that fluid abilities decline with age while crystallized abilities remain more stable or increase. Changes in processing speed, working memory, and sensory perception are well documented in aging.
3) Personality theories focus on stability of traits over the lifespan as well as changes in goals, values, and coping styles. Core personality remains stable in aging while priorities and coping strategies may subtly change.
The document discusses various employee rights and responsibilities in the workplace. It covers statutory rights based on laws, contractual rights based on employment agreements, and implied rights based on promises made by employers. It also discusses employment-at-will, exceptions to at-will employment, wrongful discharge, constructive discharge, and ensuring fairness and due process. Finally, it outlines policies, procedures, rules, discipline processes, and other HR responsibilities regarding employees.
This document discusses the experiences of inappropriate care received by elderly relatives in hospitals and the founding of "A Dignified Revolution" organization in response. The organization advocates for better treatment and rights for older patients, and aims to raise awareness of issues among healthcare professionals and organizations. It provides individual and organizational support, and works to improve standards of care through engagement with nursing and government bodies, though has also received some negative feedback challenging its approach.

Who is helping who Nick Andrews & Sarah taylorSCIFMovement
This document discusses the importance of reciprocity in care for older people. It notes that while personalization aims to focus on individual needs and empowerment, true independence also involves collective responsibility and individuals helping one another. Reciprocity is important for mental well-being as both "over-benefitted" and "under-benefitted" relationships can be problematic. However, professional boundaries policies often prohibit care workers from developing meaningful friendships with clients. The document advocates celebrating the relationships between staff and clients, redefining boundaries to allow for sharing lives, and focusing on meaningful interactions and moments that really matter.
Insights into the Lived Experience and Service Needs of People in the Early S...anne spencer
The document discusses the lived experience of people in the early stages of dementia based on a study conducted by the author. It begins by providing context on dementia projections and definitions of the lived experience from literature. It then describes the study which involved interviews with 17 people with early-stage dementia, 13 caregivers, and 6 policy experts. The study found that people experienced emotions like fear, anxiety, and frustration from their condition. They coped through strategies like covering up challenges, avoidance, focusing on abilities, and withdrawing. Participants reported low use of support services due to factors like not perceiving their situation as critical enough, an information deficit, unsuitable interventions, and long waiting lists. The research identified gaps in empowering people with dementia as
Long Term Conditions across the Lifecourse - Key findings Evidence 19 05 15 CambridgeshireInsight
This document provides an overview and initial findings from work exploring long term conditions across the lifecourse in Cambridgeshire. It summarizes local data on the prevalence of multimorbidity, limitation, mental illness, and pain in older adults and working age adults. It also summarizes qualitative findings from local residents living with long term conditions or caring for someone with long term conditions. Key challenges identified include managing multiple medications and conditions without care coordination, difficulties accessing flexible and timely support, and not feeling listened to by healthcare professionals. The document discusses approaches to identifying high risk patients, preventing escalation of needs through coordinated care management, and reducing hospital admissions and admissions to care homes.
The document discusses the aging population trends in the UK and Newcastle, with the population of those over 65 expected to rise significantly. It outlines challenges like increasing needs for care and fewer working-age taxpayers. The author interviewed older adults and their care workers, finding that dignity, empathy, autonomy and having enough time were important. This suggests the need to define dignity, train workers, and ensure policies support invisible labor to meet both tangible and intangible needs of older adults.
Dr Simon Duffy talked to folk at TMG Wisconsin about the importance of the idea of equal citizenship for all and what this means in practice. He explored best practice in self-directed support and how to help people advance their own citizenship through the use of the keys to citizenship.

Social Care Support for Carers: ILPN conferenceJo Moriarty
This document summarizes the results of a mixed-methods study on support for family carers in the UK. The study utilized interviews with over 80 participants, a survey of over 50 local councils, and analysis of national workforce data. The results showed that carers' support workers provide a range of services, including outreach, information and advice, advocacy, emotional support, counseling, and help with community activities. Social workers focus more on care coordination and safeguarding. There are ongoing debates around eligibility criteria for carers' services and tensions between universal support for all carers versus targeted support for those with substantial needs. The implications are that local authorities are moving toward more preventative, universal models of support but it remains unclear how

This document discusses moving beyond the "hotel" model of care for people living with dementia. It advocates for a more therapeutic community approach with a focus on relationships, reciprocity, and maintaining dignity. The goal is promoting well-being through a sense of belonging, purpose, and person-centered care that supports maintaining abilities for as long as possible.
The document summarizes the work of Leeds Survivor Led Crisis Service, an alternative to hospital and statutory mental health services for people experiencing acute mental health crises. The service aims to provide a safe, calming environment where people are listened to, treated with warmth and respect, and do not feel judged. Peer support is also available. Feedback indicates the crisis service helps reduce risks of self-harm for users and supports them to better manage their crisis, with a more positive and less medicalized approach than other services.
The Recovery Fund was set up to promote visible recovery from substance abuse and mental health issues in Leeds. Emily Turner from Genesis received a small grant to produce 300 copies of a booklet called "No Longer Invisible" telling the stories of 10 women's journeys to recovery from substance abuse and mental health issues. The booklet aims to show others that recovery is possible and to inspire future participatory arts projects led by service users. It discusses themes like having a voice, misconceptions, the link between sex work and drug use, exploitation, assault against sex workers, and experiences of recovery, domestic violence, and time in foster care.
