Description
A person-centred approach is where the person is placed at the centre of the service rather than their condition or disability. Support should focus on achieving the person's aspirations and be tailored to their needs and unique circumstances. Person-centred care, person-centred therapy and person-centred practices are commonly used in the health care context.

Family-Centred Healing At Home: A Samoan Epistemology of Samoan Families' Experiences of Home Dialysis and Home Detention in Aotearoa/New Zealand
Home dialysis and home detention are home-based public services increasingly used in Samoan households living in Aotearoa/New Zealand. They are cheaper than institutionally-provided hospital and correctional services and save the government millions of dollars. This thesis considers the role of housing in Samoan families living in Aotearoa/New Zealand.
