Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Family Led Decision Making Workshop
With the introduction of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Family Participation Program (FPP) end of 2018, QATSICPP has been engaged to facilitate a series of workshops focusing on Family Led Decision Making (FLDM).
Following on from FLDM workshops conducted last year workshops primarily attended by Family Wellbeing staff, the FLDM program was reformatted to a 3-day program focusing on the 5 FLDM phases, Legislation, core functions and facilitation skills for FPP facilitators.
The highlight of the 3 days was the opportunity for participants to role-play Phase 3 of the FLDM process, sharing and learning from each other, especially experienced staff imparting their knowledge and experiences to younger facilitators.
A total of 49 FPP facilitators have participated so far from 8 FPP providers including Kambu Health Services, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Controlled Health Service, Kalwun Development Corporation, Central Queensland Indigenous Development, Remote Area Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Child Care Advisory Association Inc, Wuchopperen Health Services, Mackay and Region Aboriginal and Islander Development Association and Girudala Community Co-Operative Society Inc.
Two more workshops will be delivered, one in late August with the final workshop in later September.
QATSICPP also designed and facilitated a 2-day FLDM workshop for the Department of Child Safety, Youth & Women staff. A total of 30 Department staff (Cultural Practice Advisors, Principle Team Leaders – CFDM, FGM Convenors, Practice Leaders) from across five regions participated in this 2-day workshop. The workshop program focused on building participants knowledge and understanding of FPP and FLDM process and how they can actively support transformational change within the Department.
