One of the main purposes of this MHL project was to shift away from Western perspectives on mental illness and establish foundations to create culturally anchored methods of discussing and addressing mental wellbeing within non-Western cultural communities. Title Who was involved? Body This MHL project supported three cultural communities: South Sudanese, Sri Lankan Tamil and Pasifika.Community consultants were selected by VicHealth to lead each program and ensure programs were culturally specific and community oriented. Programs were self-determined so that the community consultants were able to steward each program to best suit community needs, attitudes and accessibility.
