Mental Health Professionals’ Perspectives of the Role of Spirituality, Religion and Culture on the Mental Health of African Australians
Australia is one of the most culturally diverse countries, with nearly half its population identifying as culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD). Among this diversity, African Australians now number nearly 400,000, reflecting global migration trends.

Several initiatives have been explored to increase access to mental health servic…

Medicines Information (MI) services, particularly those led by pharmacists, provide tailored, evidence-informed advice that…
The Role of Culture, Religion, and Spirituality on the Mental Health of Africans in Australia
Caught between Two Cultures
Mental illness often emerges before the age of 25, with suicide being the leading cause of death among young people in Australia. Migrant communities, including the Indian-born population, experience high rates of mental illness and delayed help-seeking. Parents and caregivers in these communities play a key role in supporting their children's mental health. The study aimed to examine the mental health awareness and help-seeking behaviour of Indi…
