<![CDATA[Listening Beyond the System - Bicultural Voices on Mental Health]]> https://rss.com/podcasts/listening-beyond-the-system-bicultural-voices-on-mental-health This podcast is part of the work of the Victorian Bicultural Workers Network, facilitated by cohealth’s Bicultural Program.

Through these conversations, Bicultural Workers share their communities’ experiences of mental health, wellbeing, and accessing supports.

These stories are shared to help mainstream services better understand the needs, strengths, and perspectives of refugee and migrant communities, and to reflect on how they can work more effectively and safely alongside them.

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which this podcast is recorded.
