Our mental health practitioners are cross cultural experts and most come from multicultural backgrounds themselves. We are therefore able to ethnic match many clients.
2
We deliver a co-therapy model where we match clients with well-trained Multicultural Peer Support Workers (MPSWs) in therapy sessions to work with mental health practitioners to facilitate and strengthen therapeutic engagement to overcome language and cultural barriers.
3
Where we can’t match our practitioners and multicultural peer support workers by language and culture we will provide an accredited interpreter.
