Drawing on the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Family Well Being Empowerment
Program which has been established in communities for over ten years, this subject
explores the concepts underlying social and emotional wellbeing and their relevance
to the nature and process of human relationships. Specifically, it examines what is
meant by the concepts "empowerment" and "change", and how the two interrelate. The
subject therefore encourages students to re-think and re-theorise critical understandings
of empowerment and develop appropriate strategies and interventions to assist Indigenous
people to achieve their goals.
Learning Outcomes
- critically explore the nature of crisis and conflict and the impact on human behaviour;
- deconstruct the concepts of social and emotional wellbeing and the relevance in the
context of the social determinants of health and wellbeing;
- critically analyse the theoretical underpinnings of empowerment and change and the
relationship between the two and present research outcomes in an appropriate academic
format.
Subject Assessment
- Critical Review of the Family Wellbeing Program through an interactive delivery of
the Program with participants - (60%) - Group & Individual
- Written > Critical Analysis - (40%) - Individual.
