A Māori perspective on 'End of Life Choice’: Kōrero with Dr Te Hurinui Karaka-Clarke and Ruth Panelli for social workers.
Join us for kōrero on ‘diverse Māori realities’ at the end of life. Te Hurinui will share Te Ao Māori, whanau and professional perspectives that may support social workers preparing to respond to the new assisted dying health service (including conscientious objection). Together he and Ruth will reflect on his insights, together with: Te Whare Tapa Wha model, the ANZASW Code of Ethics and other inspirations for social work in this changing health space.
We acknowledge the wide range of positions taken across - and within - different populations, organisations, work environments and services. Social workers will be no different; individually and collectively we will face diverse contexts and practice challenges. This webinar is offered to support your reflection and preparation.
We will ask ourselves three questions:
1. How might ‘diverse Māori realities’ manifest in health social work via End of Life Choice issues?
2. How can Te Whare Tapa Wha continue as a relevant health social work resource - and what other taonga might help our whakaharatau/practice?
3. How can we work with mātātoa/courage to support wairua and mana where whanau hold conflicting views about loved ones’ EoL choices?
We ask you to bring along your copy of the ANZASW Code of Ethics:
