Boundaries
These are rules for relating and for managing distance or closeness between family members. There are 3 basic types of boundaries
1. Clear boundaries - family members are flexible and can adjust to situations as needed and boundaries are flexible and healthy that family members feel supported but clear enough that roles are defined .
2. Enmeshment and diffuse boundaries - family members have blurred, nonexistent and loose boundaries for example, taking on the emotions of others, feeling like you're not allowed to be close to other people who are not part of your family, having no sense of privacy, parents seeking their child's approval, friendship or emotional support and becoming over involved in each others lives. Enmeshed families can look healthy and appear very close to others in the outside world but people coming from enmeshed families can struggle with identity, can be less decisive and lack assertiveness.
3. Disengagement and rigid boundaries - strict and inflexible rules, family members expected to follow certain rules and beliefs without question. Rigid family systems hardly ever support individual thoughts and people are accepted only when they confirm to status quo.

Understanding Anxiety

Feeling afraid is very much a part of the experience of being human. It occurs in response to realistically anticipated danger and therefore is a survival instinct. For example, if a ferocious animal confronted us it is likely that we would respond with fear. This
response is important because it initiates a whole series of physical and behavioural changes that ultimately serve to protect us. In this example, when confronted by an animal, the feeling of fear would probably lead us to either run for our lives or become sufficiently ‘pumped up’ to physically defend ourselves. As you can see from this example, the experience of fear is part of a process of survival.

The experience of anxiety is very similar to the experience of fear - the main difference is that anxiety occurs in the absence of real danger. That is, the individual may think that they are in danger but the reality is that they are not. To illustrate this, think of the anxiety one may feel when walking down a poorly lit alley. The individual may feel anxious because they perceive some potential danger. This may not mean that there is any real danger in walking down
this particular alley, but what causes the experience of anxiety is that the person believes that they are in danger. Therefore, the experience of anxiety and fear are basically the same except that in the case of anxiety, there may not be any actual danger - the person just thinks there is.

What is an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker?
Accredited Mental Health Social Workers (AMHSWs) are recognised providers with Medicare Australia and other programs, delivering clinical social work services in mental health settings and utilising a range of evidence-based strategies. Under Medicare, Social Workers and general psychologists provide the same mental health support to clients.

AMHSWs work with people across the lifespan (including children, adults and older persons) and provide a unique contribution to the mental health space in their holistic approach to working with a person. The advanced training that is expected of AMHSW prepares and provides them with the skills for working with people with very complex presentations and co-morbidities. AMHSWs are highly trained and educated professionals, meeting some of the highest standards of professional regulation in Australia.

Accredited Mental Health Social Workers have a breadth of experience in assessing and treating people who have mental health disorders, for example people with:

· Depression and other mood disorders
· Anxiety disorders
· Personality disorders
· Psychosis
· Suicidal thoughts
· Relationship problems
· Life crises
· Adjustment issues
· Trauma

· Family conflicts
· Traumatic experiences including assault, domestic violence, accidents, natural disasters or other stressful events
· Parenting concerns

· Grief and loss
Accredited Mental Health Social Workers are able to diagnose, assess and treat a wide range of mental health concerns within their professional scope of practice.

They help individuals to resolve presenting psychological problems, the associated social and other environmental problems, and improve their quality of life. This may involve family as well as individual counselling, and group therapy. Social workers recognise the broader implications of an individual having a mental illness and the impact on friends, family, work and education.

Like other allied health professionals, such as psychologists, Accredited Mental Health Social Workers use a range of interventions in helping people with mental health disorders, including the following focused psychological strategies:
· Cognitive behavioural therapy
· Behavioural interventions
· Cognitive interventions
· Relaxation strategies
· Skills training
· Problem solving
· Anger management
· Social skills
· Stress management
