Mental Health Practitioner Network (MHPN) is hosting a webinar Collaborative Mental Health Care to Support a Young Person from a Refugee Background on Thursday 14 November 2013, 8.00pm - 9.15 pm (AEDT). To register, follow this link.

Six transcultural mental health networks have been established in different states and territories. These include (1) The WA Online Transcultural Network; (2) The Inner & Eastern Sydney Transcultural MHPN Network; (3) The North Eastern Melbourne Transcultural MHPN Network; (4) The Frankston and Peninsula Transcultural Mental Health Network; (5) The Western Melbourne Transcultural Mental Health Network; and (6) The Adelaide Refugee and Asylum Seeker Mental Health Network. More information about these and other networks is available from the MHPN website. Last month, MHiMA participated in the first meeting of the North Eastern Melbourne Transcultural MHPHN Network and we are looking forward to meeting the members of the Western Melbourne group in late October.

The Brisbane Young Migrant and Refugee Background Mental Health network’s recent professional development forum brought together more than 70 mental health practitioners and workers across the transcultural sector to discuss the hot topic of “The Impact of Immigration Detention on the Mental Health of Children and Young People”, see this MHPN post to find out more about this session.
