Making Elders feel safe, secure and supported

  • Summary

  • Making Elders feel safe, secure and supported needs to be a priority for all services, but how many are in a position to offer the individualised level of care required? We are privileged to have Elke Smirl CEO of Mullum Mullum Indigenous Gathering Place to guide us through this episode and present practical, engaging and effective ways to make this possible. Elke, a very proud descendant of both the Kaurna and Nurrungga peoples of the Adelaide Plains and Yorke Peninsula shares her experiences and expertise on creating culturally safe environments and approaches to building trust and rapport with Elders. We also learn the importance of developing a holistic approach when working with Elders, ensuring the relationship is built on listening, an understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island culture and history as well as the impacts of racism and intergenerational trauma.
