Answer 1

Answer: (a) The experience of Aboriginal people in mental health services remains poor, with health professionals often failing to provide care that is respectful and culturally safe.

Rationale: The aboriginal people suffers a lot in the case of the mental health issues. This is due to lack of services provided by the healthcare professionals.. The healthcare professionals most of the time are unable total provide cultural competence environment to the patients, specially in the case of mental health issues. Hence this lead to poor care and treatment provided to this group of people.
