Navigating Life, Death & Dying

Sharing my reflections as I care for my mum who's living with the impact of memory loss and cognitive changes. I stepped out of social work late 2018. We're both in unknown territory. Ageing, Death and Dying, Loss and Grief and Trauma are my great interests. I'm outraged that the ways "we" respond: "our" survival strategies - are often pathologised, labelled and medicalised as "mental illness." This impoverishes human responses to overwhelming emotional distress: ignoring systemic injustices.

South West Social Workers

Are you a Social Worker who works and lives in the South West?

Does best-practice, evidence-based-practice, networking, support, sharing information/resources/knowledge, CPD activities, mentoring new graduates, promoting social work & the uniqueness of social work and rural practice ... resonate with you?

Would liaising with & contributing to state & national AASW strategic planning, groups & forums from a local and non metro context have meaning for you?

Is meeting formally quarterly, manageable for you alongside other contact?

If YES is your response, then please join several of us who are keen to establish an AASW (WA) Practice Group in the south west.

We require a mandatory minimum of five (5) AASW members to get started.

Non AASW members welcome too!!

Please contact Lanie or Carrina for more information.
