the book…

This is the book Human Services people have been waiting for without knowing it. Why do we succeed sometimes and not others? Because, Julia’s powerful book explains, we are using our innate strengths as human beings to connect deeply with others, those whom we serve, and recognise what they have to teach US.

Joanna Kałowski

Mediator

Applying Deep Democracy in Human Services is a resource for the helping professions. The nine innate powers explained and illustrated with stories from around the world, are strength-based capabilities within every person. Power is not only a problem, it is also the solution. This book offers a humanising and practical way to shift mindsets and develop skills to maximise self-determination and diversity in vibrant communities. 

Current policy in delivering services for the elderly is spoken of as consumer directed care. However, all too often consumer voices are unheard. Whether care is provided in the home or a residential facility, Applying Deep Democracy in Human Services offers timely practical advice to ensure respect and dignity are embedded in all aspects of service delivery.

Third Age Matters - Aged Care Solutions

Julia is weaving the thread of personal development, emotional intelligence and whole system thinking into a new approach to care systems, where we learn how partnership, empowerment and awareness of rank and privilege create wisdom and eldership for the community of caregivers and people requiring support … for anybody who is interested in making care more humane, less custodial and more fun for everyone involved.
