Document title: LA025816_CHCAOD001 Ed 14_CHCMHS001 Ed 14_CHCCCS004 Ed 10_Knowledge Assessment Page 5 of 14 Resource ID: CHC43315 Certificate IV in Mental Health (2022)

Part 1: Research and report on AOD issues and responses for a target group For this task, you need to choose one (1) target group from the list below and answer the questions that follow about your chosen group. Your answers for all should total approximately 1000 words. NB: You will need to do some research beyond the information provided in the learning materials to be able to answer the questions well. An Internet search is a good place to start. Target Groups  Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.  Prisoners.  Young people.  People from non-English speaking backgrounds (you can choose a specific background if you wish).  Gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender/intersex (GLBTI) people (you can choose one of these groups if you wish).  People in rural or remote regions of Australia. Answer the following five (5) questions about your chosen group. 1. How does society and/or the media generally view or portray this group? What are some of the stereotypes about this group? You need to provide examples to support your conclusions, i.e. a brief survey of people you know, or evidence from newspapers or TV programmes. For First Nations people their voices have been largely absent. Non-Indigenous presenters and journalists have historically been in charge of telling the stories about Indigenous people. There is still a need for greater representation of First Nations peoples’ perspectives in the media – particularly in relation to Indigenous issues . Its no surprise that the way the media portrays aboriginal people has a strong influence on readers perception. What you write as a journalist has the power to create outcomes that might not be intended, or even do harm. For example, when AFL player Adam Goodes called out a teenage fan for calling him an ape in 2013 a long-lasting booing campaign proceeded. A press conference the day after, Goodes made it very clear that he did not hold the fan personally responsible, but the culture she grew up in. In fact, he did his best to console and protect the fan as the incident gained more and more media attention.

How might this group’s alcohol and other drugs use be influenced by social, cultural or environmental factors? Risky levels of alcohol and other drug use contribute to a range of harms for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people for both individuals and the community. Alcohol and other drug use not only impacts on the physical and mental health of indigenous Australians but also affects the care of children, family safety and community wellbeing. High levels of alcohol and other drug use are often a result of social disadvantage. For example, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people experiencing social disadvantage are more likely to have been exposed to chronic stress, have less access to support services, and to experience intergenerational trauma. All these factors influence whether a person is at risk of developing problematic alcohol or other drug use https://aodknowledgecentre.ecu.edu.au/learn/social-impacts/ 3. What are some of the important issues for this group with regard to their alcohol and other drugs use? You must research the National Drug Strategic Framework and analyse the impact on service delivery, as well as consider: - The impact that alcohol and other drugs use has on the health of the target group. - Legal problems that arise. - Financial issues and the consequences for relationships, including family, work and friends. The National Drug Strategy – Australia’s Integrated Framework 2004-2009 was set up to improve health, and social and economic outcomes by reducing use of harmful drugs . Most Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people do not use illicit drugs, but the proportion of drug use is higher among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people than among non-Indigenous people contributing to higher levels of related health issues and social harms. Illicit drug and alcohol use is also linked with social issues, such as harms to children and family, violence, crime and incarceration . In 2022–23, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people accounted for 18% (23,928) of Document title: LA025816_CHCAOD001 Ed 14_CHCMHS001 Ed 14_CHCCCS004 Ed 10_Knowledge Assessment Page 7 of 14 Resource ID: CHC43315 Certificate IV in Mental Health (2022)

individuals aged 10 and over who received treatment or support for their own or someone else’s alcohol or drug use. 60% of prison entrants reported illicit drug use in the previous 12 months https://www.indigenousjustice.gov.au/resources/national-drug-strategy-aboriginal- and-torres-strait-islander-peoples-complementary-plan-2003-2009/ 4. How has alcohol and other drugs use changed over time, and how has this affected this group? In 2022–23, First Nations people were more than 6 times as likely to receive treatment for alcohol or drug use as non-Indigenous Australians Seven and 8 times as likely to receive treatment for alcohol or amphetamines as non- Indigenous Australians . Seven times as likely to receive treatment for cannabis as non-Indigenous Australians https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/alcohol-other-drug-treatment-services/alcohol- other-drug-treatment-services-australia/contents/clients/indigenous-australians 5. What types of services or projects would be useful to minimise the harms of alcohol and other drugs use for members of this group? Briefly explain how they might be useful in minimising harms. Think about services or projects that focus on the alcohol and other drugs user in the context of their environment and social influences. Treatment services that reduce harmful AOD use can significantly reduce the level of assaults, homicides and the level of disability while improving the overall health and wellbeing of those experiencing harm from AOD AOD treatment services provide a variety of interventions and support that seek to address harmful AOD use and restore the physical, social and emotional wellbeing of clients and their families. Treatment services for AOD problems are composed of multiple types: withdrawal, psycho-social therapy, residential rehabilitation and pharmacotherapy maintenance. Services are delivered in a range of settings such as Document title: LA025816_CHCAOD001 Ed 14_CHCMHS001 Ed 14_CHCCCS004 Ed 10_Knowledge Assessment Page 8 of 14 Resource ID: CHC43315 Certificate IV in Mental Health (2022)
