CC: Government of Health and Social Care Department
Dear Minister,
This email is in regards to the mental issues which is occurring among different group of people and creating the disease known as dementia. The policies and practices that help to meet the needs of people in the societies.
The policy and practices help the people to deal with the mental health challenges with respect to isolation and other disadvantages. There is a need to focus on multiple ways to meet the success and outcomes. This way the social policies could be formed.
We request that Queensland and people can meet the needs of staff to deal with the submission. You can reach me at your earliest convenience.
To deal with the planning estimates for the approach of public mental health services in Queensland.
This study will deal with the health and social policy in Queensland. International health agendas have dealing the reliable technology related medical as well as public health interventions. The understanding of health is a social phenomenon and it needs more complex policy action on health. WHO and other global health parameters focus on technology related campaigns that target specific diseases in terms of social approach. The number of steps would be discussed with respect to the mental disorders in Queensland and the identification of Queensland public sector mental health service uses.
The values of social work is central to the practice and it makes distinctive among other professional groups. To manage the behavioral codes and the standards of practices, social work values are important with respect to the set of rules. Social workers focus on exploring the value depending on their values and in terms of professional approach, difficult situations could be handled. Social workers need to focus on the commitment of values with respect to professional role. The awareness that the values are related to each other develops the coherent focus on goals and purpose of profession. Social work values are not known to be mechanistic and it includes the exploration of personal values depending on the motivation. The development of mental health services were determined as important priorities. (Lopez, et.al, 2006)
Throughout the world, mental health disorders are common. It affects more than 20% of people during their lives. Mental health issues are universal and it is being faced by people of all countries such as men and women of different age in rural as well as urban locations. Mental health issues are the cause of disability in Australia deals for 30% of non-fatal diseases. In Queensland, it is said that 16.6% of the population is impacted with mental disorders in one year.
The strategy of Queensland focus on the community of old age people and residing in Queensland. The disorders are based on the people that give rise to mental issues. To meet the health needs of Queensland, it rapidly grows the population issues for the governments, social workers, policy developers and societies. Queensland focus on the highest growing nations in Australia with the population increased from 4 million to 5.6 million by 2026.
The policy on the prior terms are based on creating awareness of elder abuses. It improves the access to transport and promotes the presence of options of housing. This support the seniors to deal with the health services.
The challenges of biological, social, economic as well as environmental factors influence mental health. It is the fact for all the people in Queensland. It has high significance for different groups of people and people who focus on social as well as emotional wellbeing, mental health disorders influences access to different society resources and skills to involve in the society.
While focusing on public mental health services in Queensland, there is a strong reward that mental health is not only the responsibility of the treatment sector. In housing, disability and employment, it develop mental health and social health in the society. Each of these industries with education and training, society services have a responsibility in increasing the mental health of Queenslanders. (Mackenbach, 2012)
The vision of the Queensland plan for Mental Health 2007 – 2017 is to focus on dealing with the access to a recovery – oriented mental health systems that improves mental health for Queenslanders. The program focus on developing the strong approach that provides strong services that promote the mental health as well as wellbeing. It decreases the impact of mental illness on individuals, their families and the community. This enables people live with a mental illness to involve meaningful in society.
The mental health sector focus on developing strong association with consumers, families and government to meet the strong outcomes. Recovery is the journey of an individual and it assist in an individual that result from the mental illness. Services support an individual with mental illness in the process of recovery. People living with mental illness can live the life with productivity in their societies.
To work collaboratively, these industries play an important task to promote the mental health as well as well-being of the population. It will also help to experience mental health challenges as well as mental illness. Mental health care in Queensland is provided by a range of providers that work across multiple sectors. The mental health treatment is supported by different health sector and it has clear responsibility for clinical assessments and treatment services.
In this study, the discussion on issues that will be supported is dementia as it is a priority for national health. It will deal with the positive approaches where people with dementia and informal carers will be cooperated. There will have the discussion on opportunity regarding dealing with the disease.
Dementia is the largest health and social issues facing by Australia and it is a national health priority. Family members and friends involve in $1 billion per week in replacement amount of unpaid care. Informal carers manage the health to continue in the carer role. The dementia carers as well as consumers association for the national dementia strategy that focus on the health promotion campaigns.
The community based approach to reduce the stigma and social isolation deals with dementia and support social inclusion. It promotes higher awareness and risk reduction to form partnerships with different health campaigns. The integrated approach to education for health practitioner’s deal with the support timely for dementia. This increases the skills and improves the care in the society for all consumers through consumer based quality plans.
Issue 1. Decreasing stigma – dementia friendly societies development
With the lack of knowledge in the society, people could develop a person with dementia. This can create social isolation and loneliness for the person with dementia. This could be cooperated actively and one can involve successfully with the society. Social isolation can lead to mental health stress and challenges that involve anxiety as well as depression.
Overseas tasks have developed public education and awareness creation among dementia that focus on community responses, identification of stigma as well as discrimination. The program called as Dementia Friends tailors the need of Australian context. It understand the organizational resources formed by Alzheimer’s Australia and it works with them. It is important to develop the people involvement and promoting public awareness about the situation. This program also provide online and face to face dementia education programs to interested members of the public as well as other organizations. It aims to educate support from local as well as state government.
Issue 2. Preventive and safe health – to promote awareness and to decrease the risk
As per the researcher’s, up to one third of stories of Alzheimer’s diseases are related to safe risk parameters. Other sources describes 10-25 % of reduction in type 2 diabetes, physical challenges, hypertension and depression. The successful government of Australia focus on funds in preventive health. The campaign preventive health like Quit smoking and get active plans helps to deal with the target market on free and low cost messages through society services, social media and other networks.
Issue 3. Timely diagnosis
The major point of contact for people is GP and health issues should be given assessment as well as treatment for dementia. The less knowledge on dementia and fear of stigma creates delay in the assessments. An integrated approach to education for health professionals across primary healthcare and aged care is important to support the diagnosis of dementia.
Issue 4. High quality social care
Most of the people with dementia residing in the society have access to high quality and flexible care services. Society based directed care and home care packages will not be assigned to a service provider. Home care plans will be allocated to consumers from different forms of presented plans. To increase the selection among community care will be less regulated and it will be consumer focused and market related. It is important to monitor the government and the implementation of consumer based directed care so the consumers can access the affordable care at the time of requirements.
The sponsor of Consumer summit by Alzheimer’s Australia focus on dealing with the market failure in home care like remote and huge societies and to focus on the strategies to identify the challenges around lack of services and restricted options as well as high amount. The newly based aged care complaints commissioner and the staff are the support for carers as well as consumers. Around 30% of people with dementia in society, it is hard that care services are formed and motivates to offer high quality care. While there are few measures to enhance the quality of residential care with dementia people, it is believed that most of the work is important to meet quality and flexibility in the atmosphere. (Mackenbach, 2012)
Conclusions and recommendations
In terms of physical care, it is important to deal with social, emotional and spiritual needs. Government should focus on continuous training and manage the workforce in person based dementia care. The aged care complaints commission offer valuable complaints resolution and we look for the development of consumer and carer based participation to meet high quality in community as well as residential care. This would develop consumers audit and feedback plan.
The effects of dementia and its approaches will be proactive and early intervention techniques will help to decrease the costs of dementia to the health as well as aged care systems for crisis solution. This approach will also help to improve the wellbeing and health of people with dementia and their families in Australia.
There will have recommendations with respect to the promotion of positive and mental health. The services will focus on the mental disorders within Queensland. The issues could be resolved with the awareness and information on stress reduction via best access of participation and residential care.
To: The Manager – Queensland
From: The Social health Coordinator for mental illness
This section focus on the assessment of the care strategies and theories within the nation. The application of support principles and process to deal with the customers and the impacts of existing policies are developed in terms of offering social care. To meet the individuals in a properly cared in health as well as social care needs the application of the number of support principles. The examples of support principles involve equity in terms of care, accessibility as well as offering financial views for individuals of all backgrounds. Ageism and negative stereotypes for older people in the society will be focused and educated. Therefore, there will have concerns on older people ageing and health challenges.
Individuals who need health and social care services is different in ethnic, culture as well as social and socioeconomic backgrounds and it is important in meeting the needs of the population percentage. To value the diversity as well as to offer the support for families of different backgrounds is a critical tool of Australian health as well as social care policy.
To protect the customers from harm is the vital consideration for social care home managers is important. Clients focus on benefiting the social care services in the vulnerable positions and face financial as well as medical challenges that creates harm. The practice of dealing with social care is critical to protecting the abuse. Practitioners are accountable for the services and it empower the customers and it helps to protect the confidentiality and basic human rights and necessary actions to vulnerable customers. (Kociol, et.al, 2013)
The person – centered approach offers the Australian health as well as social care practices. This care is based on protecting the individual rights of customers and develop choices in the manner that helps to meet the unique needs. The benefits of the model vary from increased customer satisfaction and there is the ability to reach the individuals from multiplied range of ethnic as well as financial backgrounds and effective outcomes. (Drapeau, et.al, 2011)
The targeted groups are younger and older people who have high passion on anti-ageism and both young as well as old people falls under the category of 16 to 85 years of age. There is the aim to enhance awareness on ageism and it will focus on the ideas of youth. (Siskind, et.al, 2012)
Health and social care is the field with potential ethical dilemmas as well as conflicts. Examples of ethical dilemmas that increases in the field are legal violations on the part of the customers, the importance to choose the alternatives that do not meet the needs of customers. This manages ethical guidelines and policies for all the researchers to follow. These guidelines are important to reform the changing needs of population. (Lu, et.al, 2011)
The NHS regularly evaluate the policies, rules and regulations to meet the specific and varying ethnic, cultural and financial backgrounds of the study. The 2012 ACT related with health and social care provides extensive laws and regulations in the field within the country. This helps to manage the health related policies dealt with professional accountability and also it helps to offer patient based approach in terms of care and level of health as well as social care to protect ineffectiveness. This way, there is high level of access to deal with health and social care effectiveness. (Andrews¸ 2005)
The rules and laws help to focus on health and social care based on local and regional policies based on the requirements of the people. With high or low socioeconomic status, it could focus on dealing with local health as well as social care policies. This way, the local government and well – being can meet the association of local requirements. By meeting the local laws and rules, there could have high service quality on a national manner. (Mackenbach, 2012)
It also has huge impacts on the practice of health as well as social being. This could offer practical help and knowledge and one can gain the best form based on health and social care requirements. Thus, the goal to meet the policy and the practices is to form the level of standards that should be clear and should assure the safe and ethical care of all the people. The modification in the rules and policies based on health and social care create clients protection from discrimination and it also creates person based care. (Macinko, et.al, 2007)
To know the theories and approaches of social as well as professional approach, one can focus on promoting the care and provide best support to deal with ethical challenges. There could have role plays and group formation activities in the society to deal with these challenges. This is difficult in the health and social care field as it creates general models and theories in the healthcare and it help to deal with the research on social as well as health form. (Lovato, et.al, 2003)
In the nation, health and social care is important depending on the theory of humanistic. It helps to meet the needs of an individual based on the care services and it helps to protect the rights and needs of an individual. Therefore, the health as well as social care approaches deal with the significant form of communication with the customers especially in case of inter-professional work place. This theory is based on person centered approach and it could be directed from the reformation of policy. (Liss, et.al, 2011)
The learning approach of social theory had huge impacts on health as well as social practices and this theory creates the value while learning based on the views and observations depending on the care and social health. With this, there could have important approach of learning and the social care practitioners can deal with the customers and offer the best care to each individual depending on broad form. These practices are important to meet the parameters that influences strong goals and objectives. (Lovasi, et.al, 2009)
The theory based on anti-oppression and anti-discrimination laws have developed the health and social care in the nation. These theories describes the style of professionalism and the importance of justice in the society that deals with the rights of an individual. Anti-discrimination deals with huge social & cultural backgrounds and it is not sufficient based on the types. (Krieger, et.al, 2008)
The social process in the learning also impact the social as well as health care in different manners. For example, the involvement of the user has been the major focus of policy reformation within the nation. These practices has promoted and helped the more patient – related model of health approach that focus on the patients as well as health care. This way, the engagement of the user has enhanced the services based on the care associated with cancer and it creates disciplines based on the health as well as social care. The professionals and social care help to improve the inter-personal work environment that increased the impacts on the care and policy. (Krieger, et.al, 2011)
The involvement of users as well as accountability for social approach in meeting the health and social care deals with the approach of reactive as well as oriented model and it is highly proactive. With these services such as health and social care policies, it helps to deal with the cultural changes and focus on the requirements of increased diverse models. These approaches help in the model of person based care and it helps to ignore the health care system. (Lopez, et.al, 2006)
The purpose of this work is deal with the social issues faced by Australian and it deals with dementia. With the purpose of work, there is a goal to promote the awareness and reduces the risk with other health related campaigns. (Korpi & Palme, 1998)
The target group of the work is based on the different people and Australian people with old age people. The target group of the work focuses on different old age people in the nation.
The skills that will be focused on the work will be based on the awareness skills and knowledge skills based on supporting the social inclusion. To deal with the training and education, there is a usage of person based skills. There are skills with supportive approaches and skills. This develops intervention skills and collaboration skills based on health and care services. (Kociol, et.al, 2012)
The tasks that have been performed based on mental and health services are the engagement and involvement of families, carers and different types of tasks with policy development and implementation. There have been the focus on training and education for the health research with respect to the support and co-ordination for the disease dementia. This increases the skills and improves the care for the user through consumer related programs based on health quality. This way, it will be able to incorporate the representations and deal with negative issues with respect to ageism. (Meehan, et.al, 2001)
The timeframes based on the different skills will require 4 years. This time frame is formed to deal with the right action plan and it would be rewarding for people. (Whiteford, et.al, 2008)
The resources will be useful and important for the accomplishment of the task includes funds and travel allowances, meeting rooms to develop the projects, tools like video, cameras, digital editing approaches and sound system etc. (Mackenbach, 2012)
There will have awareness creation with respect to mental challenges reasons and it will educate the public about the support initiatives to deal with the public image of older people. Public will focus on older people in the society. There is a lack of contact among older and younger in the society. This will generate the population and the older people create emotional issues. (Lovato, et.al, 2003)
Thus, the research focused on dealing with the health related issues based on dementia and it is recommended to focus on the citizens of Australia. This had been important to focus on the analysis dependent on the social justice and power. To conclude, the health and social issues could be resolved based on individual care and it should focus on the health and well-being. (Knudsen, et.al, 2006)
