Mental Health in Multicultural Communities
Seeking help for mental health issues can be hard, especially if you are from a multicultural background. In this short video, Rasha Hasan speaks about her experiences, and how mental health services gave her the support and strength to get through hard times.
This video was created for National Mental Health Awareness Month 2022. Special thanks to SCARF Refugee Support and TAFE NSW - Wollongong.
