Read the case study, then answer the questions that follow.

Samantha was diagnosed with schizophrenia 15 years ago and spent many years in and out of hospital. When she was first diagnosed she lost confidence in herself as a person and felt the illness took over her life. She lost her career as a dancer, her friends, her lifestyle and her sense of self.

When Samantha is offered support, she slowly begins to recover her identity. Her support worker, Doug, helps to find suitable housing, provides emotional and psychological support and instils in her a sense of hope that she can manage her symptoms and lead the kind of life she wants. Doug never pushes Samantha or demands that she do things. Instead, they discuss options together and work on taking small steps one at a time.

Samantha tells Doug that she is ready to participate in social activities again, one small step at a time. She would like to return to advanced dance classes once a week. It will allow her to build up her strengths and undertake a recreational activity that brings her joy.

Doug sits with Samantha while she phones her dance teacher, Kerry. Kerry is shocked and says she never expected to hear from Samantha again. Kerry tells Samantha that she does not think they can cater for her mental health needs at the dance school due to concerns that she will not be able to cope with the competitiveness and demanding routines.

Gwen has been living with an anxiety disorder for several years, and she uses alcohol and marijuana daily. Her sister was caring for her two children but they have recently returned to Gwen’s care on a temporary basis. Gwen states that her priority now is to effectively parent her two children. This change in circumstance significantly alters Gwen’s recovery goals and so an appointment is made with her support worker to amend the recovery plan. Meanwhile, Gwen’s mental health worker, Grace, clarifies with Gwen effective strategies to meet her amended goals and service providers who may be able to assist.

Gwen is due to meet with a panel of representatives from family and community services in three weeks to discuss the possibility of Gwen’s children returning to her care on a permanent basis. Gwen must convince the panel that she has the capacity and ability to provide a safe and loving home for her children, where the children’s right to education, medical care, and protection against cruelty and abuse will be upheld. Gwen asks Grace for assistance to self-advocate for her right to build a healthy relationship with her children and make decisions about how they will be raised without interference, unless there are very good reasons and the children’s safety and wellbeing is at risk.

Read the case study, then answer the questions that follow.

Franco has experienced mood swings for several years and knows they are more extreme than most people have. He puts it down to something in his personality. Over time, he learns to conceal his more serious episodes of depression and tries to manage the highs by going for a long run or drinking excessively. Some of his friends sometimes make comments to him about his manic behaviour, but he just laughs it off.

He finally realises he has a real problem when he can feel himself getting more and more out of control. Franco sees a professional and eventually receives a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. He is surprised but also relieved. At last, he knows what is going on and can get medication and help to manage his extreme moods.

Franco meets his support worker, James, and at their first meeting together, James explains to Franco his rights in terms of his mental illness. Franco enjoys his job as an accountant and has always performed well in his role, despite his undiagnosed mental illness. James assists Franco to self-advocate for flexible working arrangements from his employer so that Franco can continue working in his job on a part-time basis. Franco believes that this will greatly assist him in his care and recovery. Franco’s employer denies his request and tells him that he either continues in the role on a full-time basis or finds a job elsewhere.
