Social Work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People in Health

Below I have attached a document/file of the instructions provided by my unit coordinator, if you scroll to the bottom you will find the marking rubric. Please read carefully. I have also attatched a mind map of some of the topics within the journal article that can be discussed within the essay. It would be great if you include trauma informed practice and cultural safety as topics.

Extra instructions:

Assignment 3 Question: In providing a review of the following article: outline how, you will embed similar principles of best practice in your profession as a Social Worker.
