Hey guys, I have this cafs question that I need help on..

Groups with specific needs are considered unique entities, why?

I guess because not everyone's the same .
As studied in the cafs course , we know that there are various 'groups in context' .
These include - the 11 groups e.g. homeless , disabled , youth , families in crisis , cultural groups , rural families , soul parent , socioeconomically disadvantaged , gay and lesbian , aged and the chronically ill .

Each individual under these categories require ultimately varied needs . For example the aged require more so healthcare than anything else because of their deteriorating outcomes , whilst youth need to find their 'sense of identity' and develop a 'positive self esteem' as these are the crucial stages of growth in an individuals life . Hence they are all considered to be unique entities . Not only that , but lets say for example the chronically ill - there are various degrees & conditions which make the chronically ill who they are - if that makes sense lol - for example not every chronically ill person (long term problem) is going to suffer from exactly the same illness . One might suffer from heart conditions , whilst the other may suffer from arthritis .

Hope I helped , and I hope this makes sense ! :) Ahhh studying for the trials tomorrow is so stressful -.-
Are you doing practise questions for tomorrows cafs paper ?

Just to clarify this, the syllabus is the key and is the best way to define what you specifically need to do:

http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.a...community-family-studies-st6-syl-from2010.pdf

If they haven't been removed, there was some reasonable ones in the resources section; however I think from memory they required slight improvement.

As long as you know your syllabus and have made notes from those dot points you will quite often be able to give a detailed answer. It also pays to know some current issues affecting the groups as it can greatly enhance your answers.

If you can get a hold of the Excel, Heinemann or Leading Edge books, it was detailed very well in these textbooks.


Good luck! :)
