Orientation to Cultural Responsiveness

This free, self-paced learning module introduces key concepts in culturally responsive mental health practice. The module provides information to support individual practitioners in work with consumers, carers, families, and communities, and can also support agencies to implement a diversity plan. Mental health service providers and a range of diversity organisations were consulted in design development of this resource. This resource contains prerequisite learning for some VTMH workshops. If you are participating in a workshop with VTMH with pre-requisite learning, please review this resource prior to attending.

Cultural Diversity & Assessment

This free, self-paced learning module supports mental health practitioners to consider cultural aspects of mental health and wellbeing when undertaking assessments. Concepts and tools are explored which help clarify the role culture plays for those with a lived experience of mental health, for practitioners, and within mental health systems. The module provides some assessment questions which have been adapted from the Cultural Formulation Interview (CFI), encourages reflection on cultural aspects of mental health, and provides useful links to other assessment information.
