Responsive mental health assessment and support for multicultural consumers - report - North Western Melbourne Primary Health Network

What can be done to boost culturally appropriate mental health assessment and care? In 2023 NWMPHN partnered with Ascot Vale mental health service providers Pola Practice to examine components of culturally responsive practice and explore how to build clinician capability to assess need and deliver safe and appropriate care.
