Diverse Communities Mental Health & Wellbeing Roundtable and Launch

Join us on 10 April for a special event on multicultural mental health. The event will reflect on ECCV’s Mental Health & Wellbeing Engagement of Diverse Communities project and the impact it's had on multicultural communities and the mental health workforce. We're pleased to be joined by the Minister for Mental Health, Multicultural Affairs & Ageing Ingrid Stitt MP and the Member for Pasco Vale Anthony Cianflone MP, who will launch the next phase of this important project.

The project has highlighted the importance of building the capacity of mental health service providers, community and health organisations as well as stakeholders in non-health settings to effectively respond to the mental health needs of multicultural communities in a culturally safe, responsive, and inclusive way.
