海角社区 is pleased to announce additional funding from the Public Health Agency Canada (PHAC) for the Culturally-Based, Family-Centered Mental Health Promotion for Aboriginal Youth Project. The funding allows the project to build on the ongoing intervention to develop a toolkit for cultural adaptation of interventions for mental health promotion.
As part of PHAC鈥檚 Innovation Strategy, 海角社区, Connect the Dots British Columbia and Healthy Living Manitoba will partner in this additional project that will involve a survey of cultural adaptation and mental health interventions in Canada leading to a toolkit on cultural adaptation for government agencies, communities and non-governmental organizations.听
While the project focuses on cultural adaptation in work with Aboriginal communities, it will also share insight with the wider mental health community and will be beneficial for organizations working with immigrant, refugees and other diverse communities.听
