Multicultural training
Understanding the social and cultural factors that shape and impact mental health and wellbeing is essential to delivering quality mental health care.
We deliver staff education, training and professional development in a variety of formats that can be tailored to meet your needs:
- face-to-face
- workshops
- eLearning
- videoconferences
- case-based modelling
- guidelines
- resources
- individual supervision
- peer supervision
- mentoring
- case discussions
- communities of practice
- practice advice.
Our primary audience is multidisciplinary clinicians working in a variety of state-funded specialist mental health, alcohol and drug service settings. Our goal is to strengthen the capacity of the multicultural sector more broadly to provide culturally responsive mental health care.
Topics include (but are not limited to):
- considering cultural factors when conducting mental health, alcohol and other drug assessments
- incorporating an understanding of culture when developing case formulations and treatment or recovery plans
- working with Interpreters in mental health settings
- working with bicultural workers to get specific cultural input and advice
- engaging with culturally and linguistically diverse individuals and their families.

Cultural Considerations in Mental Health Assessment
The Queensland Transcultural Mental Health Centre has developed an online module for mental health practitioners called Cultural Considerations in Mental Health Assessment.
Through a video case scenario, learners are taken through the settlement experience of Sonia and her family, as well as her experience of mental health and illness.
Follow Sonia’s contact with a mental health service to have an overview of how to incorporate the Outline for Cultural Formulation into routine assessment and formulation.
We hope Cultural Considerations in Mental Health Assessment informs your practice and helps you provide culturally informed and responsive mental health care.
