The session is an introduction on how best health care professionals can support our culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities including people with migrant and refugee experiences when they present with mental health issues in primary health care settings.

The session is aimed at building your skills, knowledge and confidence to work cross culturally as well as improving understanding and bridging of cultural differences. It is not about describing specific cultures, their beliefs and values.

1. Describe the cultural diversity in Sydney and the experiences of CALD communities
2. Explain how culture influences mental health and illness
3. Identify tools, resources and services to support CALD communities
