- Cultural Conversations 2018
This event will bring together young people, parents, carers, and advocates who are part of the culturally and linguistically diverse (CaLD) community. This year’s objective will focus on a key factor influencing help seeking and positive mental health recovery– family support. For any young person, family support is vital when mental health issues are present. Often without family support, young people are not able to seek out the support they need. Family support can be influenced by a range of factors including their understanding of mental health and what it is, their community’s acceptance of the issue, and the support and guidance of their religious and spiritual connections. We hope to address these factors, and form a shared opinion which supports young people and their mental health.
29 November | headspace Armadale | FREE - Limited places, bookings essential
