The Multicultural Mental Health & Well Being Program provides information and support for individuals and families from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds, on mental health and wellbeing issues through the provision of information, including:
- Culture as a protective factor for mental wellbeing
- Identification of early signs and symptoms of mental health problems and how families and communities can offer support
- How to access Mental Health support and treatment services
