From mainstream to tailored approaches

Cultural Determinants, Mental Health and Suicide Prevention

Presenter: Nell Angus, beyondblue

beyondblue has identified three major priority communities in its strategic directions for 2010-2015. The priority communities include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people; gay, lesbian, bi, trans and intersex communities; and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

Addressing depression and anxiety among specific priority communities in tailored, collaborative ways is an integral part of beyondblue’s strategic directions. This presentation will discuss the key elements of approaches taken to ensure that messages about depression and anxiety are developed and delivered appropriately and in collaboration with communities and community organisations.
