What‘s Waiting Behind The Door: Social Work and Community Aged Care - Ep. 59
Listen now
Description
Sometimes you have to take a deep breath, prepare yourself for whatever's behind that door, and knock.  Join Mim and Lis as we hear a story from a Community Aged Care setting, about a social worker who's making an initial home visit for an elder man in the community. Safe to say, things don't go according to plan! Hear how this social worker problem-solves with the client at the centre, and ultimately how she supports him to get the help he needs. Mim and Lis break down the story and discuss some of the issues in the aged care sector. This is a great practice story and we're sure you'll be putting new ideas into your practice kit as you listen.  Have any burning thoughts after listening, or just want to say hello?
