This subject prepares students for advanced professional practice with older people in family, social and cultural contexts. It addresses the types and significance of relationships for the well being of the older person. Selected contexts of ageing are explored including multifaith and multicultural ageing, singles, gays and lesbians, and indigenous persons. Contexts of care studied include family and non-family carers and the opportunities and difficulties that may arise. Appropriate professional spiritual and pastoral responses to stressful family and social issues such as isolation, abuse, and homelessness are also considered.
