THis kind of resource is so valuable in teaching non-Indigenous healthcare professionals some cultural respect and skills, Vital! Sad that so few have viewed this....

This video is used for First Peoples Health teaching nursing and midwifery students. Excellent video!

Congratulations on producing a simple, effective and respectful training video. I have had the opportunity to attend a range of training over the past decade, but Melinda and Aunty Pat have created something very special here, which I will be recommending to our staff at Alexandra.

This is great information to assist with helping Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients. It's a solid way to engage with any cultural diversity, including what is now referred as the "dominant culture". People tend to generalise people regardless of where they are from or their circumstances and I'm sure we have all at some point, been taken back in some way when someone has "assumed" something about us and not asked us.

Great Vidio

It is all about making the client comfortable talking to you and you respecting the client. I don't think that there is a perfect way to work with the clients from any culture. Because although a two different client from the same cultural background may have different level of comfort. So, you just have to play along the client not being too formal and not being too causal, whatever you do with the client should be based on your objective. There is no any hard and fast rule. You can make mistake but, learning from your mistake is important.

Why is self-awareness and being culturally aware important when supporting clients from diverse backgrounds including Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people?
