Not all cultures recognise mental health and wellbeing in the same way western culture does. This episode considers how to approach mental health in culturally and linguistically diverse communities by exploring what it means to be curious, and ways to be respectfully curious. Join Rhee Duthie from ECCQ’s Multicultural Advisory Service and Millie Magada from Gold Coast Health for insights, tips and resources as you seek to understand the needs of the individuals you are working with in your diverse communities, particularly when it comes to their mental health.
Thank you to the guests and organisations that contributed to this episode.
