Discussion
This paper will delve into the Case Management Mission of Australia regarding the targeted population, who are the survivors of domestic and family violence. Case management is a sustainable measure set adopted by health and human rights protecting executives (Kumar et al., 2018). According to this measure set, the clients are taken care of in accordance with their trauma endurance and potentiality. In this paper, the Domestic and Family Violence survivors are taken as the targeted client group. Domestic Violence survivors are people who have experienced traumatising events both physically and mentally in their homes (Ragavan et al., 2020). In the context of Australian society, domestic violence typical concentrates on the abuse of a victim by his or her spouse, although the male dominance ratio is higher. The following segments will delve into the discussion about how this targeted clientele can get help to heal the trauma and develop their potential.
As mentioned in the last section, a case management mission in Australia is a practice that ensures the proper care of a client who has in the past been exposed to a traumatised environment. There are certain guidelines that every case management executive needs to follow to create a sustainable development structure for the clients. Firstly, this philosophy distinguishes that the dynamic of case management is not an utterly professional segment; rather, it is a predetermined set of disciplinary measures which is helpful to make the clients self-sufficient and independent (Taylor et al., 2019). Secondly, several times it can be found that people who have been exposed to trauma do not take care of their anatomical health. In other words, they sort of let go of their physical well-being. Therefore, case management principles intervene here and make sure that the clients are well taken care of. To achieve this goal, the executives use several tools like communication, one-to-one sessions, advocacy and education. More specifically, case management provides services so that the clients learn to take care of themselves without the mediation of any external forces, and all these benefits fall under their health insurance plan. Thirdly, to develop sustainability, not only physical but mental health well-being is also important (Gardner, 2020). Therefore, the case management executives do not come from only medical and healthcare backgrounds but also from psychiatric, social work and rehabilitation backgrounds. Fourthly, every of the said executives understands the importance of bringing the clients back on track of life so that they can overcome the negative experience of the past. Therefore, all the resources are redirected to empower the clients. Fifthly, the entire concept of case management is a collaborative scenario according to which every executive, no matter what their expertise is, work in collaboration to achieve the sustainable goal proposed by the management measure (Lopez-Carmen et al., 2019). Sixthly, complete confidentiality gets maintained among the case management executives so that someone’s weaknesses are not exposed to other people. To achieve the same, every executive needs to possess relevant skills, education and legal bits of knowledge. Lastly, all the stakeholders, including the board of directors, official executives and employees, attain a satisfaction benefit when the clients attain their physical and mental well-being and become a better version of themselves.
Conclusion
Now, this paper deals with domestic violence survivors. As mentioned above, domestic violence mainly takes place in a romantic companionship where both the partners are supposed to care for each other. Similarly, family violence covers all the segments of abuses which take place in a family setting. In most cases, the victims do not even get to call for help, and their physical and mental health takes a toll on them. Therefore, if they are to get help, the first and foremost need is to acknowledge that they are being abused because, in most cases, adoration for the spouses and family blinds the victims’ perception (Cusack et al., 2018). Once the acknowledgement is made, the victims seek help to get better. This is where the involvement of case management policies comes into the picture.
The executives first can take the victims under their wing and provide them with shelter with the help of the social worker collaborated with them. Once the victims get a roof over their heads, their treatment can get started. Now then, violence can be both physical and emotional (Greene et al., 2018). Thus, for the physically abused victims, the first treating measure is to provide them medical support, and for the emotionally abused victims, the first measure is to provide them psychiatric support mainly because their acceptance of being abused takes more time as it usually does not consist of any visible signs. Then both of the groups get to have consistent physical and psychological support to break the lifestyle order of the abuse. It is often said that healing is a long-term process. Following this theory, all the victims are given ample amount of time and support to heal from the past experiences of their abused lives. Then the main emphasis is given to the counselling of the victims so that they can learn to validate their feelings and physical well-being.
After the healing process starts, the case management executives monitor the victims on their taking care of themselves. There can be several occasions when the victims can get out of the healing track and again get back to the emotional loop of feeling abused (Trabold et al., 2018). Hence, the case management executives work together with the social and human rights workers consistently so that the victims gain their independence and self-validation in the long run.
Conclusion:
Therefore, in conclusion, it can be said that the case management mission of Australia has major significance in building up the socio-economic life of the people who were exposed to any traumatised events in their lifetime. There is a predetermined set of protocols that every management executive needs to follow so they can help their clientele in the best way possible. Domestic violence victims belong to one such clientele who need medical, psychological and social support on an urgent basis. Therefore, several measures get taken by the officials so that the victims get support and their self-worth and independence grow.
