We are stronger together
We are a for‑purpose collective working alongside diverse communities to support mental wellbeing, as defined by communities at the intersections themselves. As a national workforce centre for multicultural mental health, we challenge siloed systems and bring people, resources and knowledge together to help shape systems and services that build cultural humility and are responsive to people’s needs.
