The Transcultural Mental Health Centre (New South Wales)
The Transcultural Mental Health Centre, established in 1993 as a state wide service, promotes access to mental health services for people of non-English speaking background (NESB). The Centre also works with consumers, carers, health professionals and the community to encourage positive attitudes to mental health.
The Centre recognises people's cultural and linguistic differences in their understanding of mental health. It seeks to support mental health policies, programs and services that ensure access and equity of service, while respecting cultural traditions and sensitivities.
