Description

This workshop introduces participants to principles that inform culturally safe practice, while encouraging the exploration of practical skills to enhance diversity responsive mental health practice. Using a range of facilitation styles, participants will be encouraged to reflect on their own cultural values, beliefs and models in delivering recovery focussed interventions, and explore the relationship between policy, human rights legislation, and the manner in which we provide respectful person-centred care.



This event will cover:

  • The importance of reflective practice in creating culturally safe spaces
  • Key government policies and human rights legislation in relation to culturally diverse practice
  • The social determinants of health, ethnicity, cultural humility, cultural safety diversity and intersectional approaches
  • Practical skills to employ in delivering diversity responsive mental health interventions, including working with interpreters
  • Key issues in cultural diversity, and the role of culture in mental health service delivery
