Exploration of the role of the community response network in KelownaBird, Marie Christine 11 1900 (has links)
The Community Response Network in Kelowna was formed from the policydriven
elder abuse committee and as a response to the Adult Guardianship
Act of British Columbia enacted in 2000. After the inception of the act that
addresses abuse, neglect and self-neglect of adults, the Community Response
Network - a community development initiative that was implemented from
social policy - was unsure of its role in the community. The purpose of this
qualitative research is to assist the network in defining its role in supporting
adults who may be vulnerable to harm. What is the role of the Community
Response Network? What did the network do in the past? How effective was
it? Who should be involved? It was thought that the network would continue to
offer education and awareness to community members. Through a purposeful
convenience sample of participants in both a focus group and individual
interviews, various themes such as structure, values, context and tasks were
evident through verbatim analysis. As well, through a feminist analysis,
several dichotomies and inconsistencies were interpreted. Recommendations
for the network include continuing education and awareness workshops,
strengthening linkages in the community, and inviting a diverse group of
people to become involved in the committee.

Black community attitudes towards the disabled-educational implicationsBaloyi, Busisiwe Helen 01 1900 (has links)
This study, BLACK COMMUNITY ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE DISABLED -
EDUCATIONAL IMPLICATIONS, set out to investigate the attitude of the black community
towards the disabled.
Literature was consulted to provide a backdrop against which the empirical surveys could
be measured. The study used systematic observation interviews for data collection.
Appointments were made to conduct the interviews. The study obtained responses from
70 interviewees from four African cultures namely the Vend~ Pedi, Tsonga and Ndebele,
who were divided into seven groups, ten per group, i.e. parents of the disabled, the
disabled themselves, siblings of the disabled, parents of non-disabled, youth, old people
and professional workers.
Findings indicated that disabilities such as cerebral palsy, orthopaedic disabilities,
blindness and deafness are undesirable and constitute problems in the life of a disabled,
their families in general perspective and the community at large. Disabilities constituted
different attitudes and were identified as varying from total rejection to acceptance which
are brought about by the components of the TRIPARTITE MODEL I A B C MODEL being
cognitive, affective and behavioural.
Education of the whole black community concerning the issue of disabled people seems
to be the only answer to bring about a change of attitude towards the disabled. Therefore
a number of recommendations were included to serve as guidance and counselling so that
myth and witchcraft ideologies and negative attitudes can be uprooted.
The researcher hopes that the effort that went into this· study will be beneficial in the
process of educating the black community about the disabled with the ultimate goal of
changing existing negative attitudes towards the disabled into positive attitudes of
acceptance and support. / Psychology of Education / D Ed. (Psychology of Education)
