North Western Melbourne and Eastern Melbourne PHNs have contracted MHPN to deliver two webinars which aim to build the cultural responsiveness of primary health and mental health care practitioners to provide mental health support to people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
The broad topics for the webinars are:
- Providing culturally responsive mental health care during pandemic
- Importance of cultural approaches to healing and recovery such as linkages with community and faith-based groups
Learning outcomes:
Through a facilitated panel discussion at the completion of the webinar participants will have:
- Better understanding of the compounding anxiety, grief, helplessness, trauma and shame people from CALD backgrounds may be experiencing during COVID 19 and beyond.
- Practical tips and strategies to provide culturally responsive practice which supports good outcomes for people from CALD backgrounds
- Better target referrals, as a result of improved understanding of the role of different disciplines, in providing treatment and support for people from CALD backgrounds.
Before the webinar read the vignettes on which the conversation will be based or learn more about our panel.
