Great
Thank you all for providing such valuable insight. I am studying post grad counselling and being cultural competent is very important as I really want the client to feel safe and empowered. I’ve learnt so much from this series. I cannot wait for more.
This podcast is so excellent. I’m about to start working at RDH, and I’m so excited to learn about aboriginal culture. This podcast has given me some really excellent strategies to communicate with my patients.
I wish we had a version for professionals in every industry and for everyone engaging with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures. So much to think about. So well explained. Easy to listen to. The specialists have been very open in answering the questions so we can all learn.
Thank you Vicki and co for putting this together. It’s such a valuable tool for us for everyday work. And it’s such small things we can learn and change in our practice that will make a world of difference to our patients.
