Multiculturalism & Mental Health

Filed under: Mental Health — bnaipal @ 8:32 am

The Australian Federal Govt. funding for Mental Health projects with a stress on Multiculturalism seems to be a waste of funds. Inspite of numerous ‘workshops’, ‘conferences’ & skills updating seminars, the participants do not seem to learn a single aspect of Multiculturalism in the mental health sector. Is it the fault of the organisers or the participants?

The approaches adopted in treating clients from other ethnic backgrounds does not seem to have changed & the plight of these clients seems to only grow horrendously. Will the situation & attitudeĀ change or will the Govt. be blindly funding those projects hoping for positive outcomes?
