The CALD Mental Health Professionals Network in Adelaide is a community for mental health professionals from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds to come together, share ideas, and learn from each other. While we’re based in Adelaide for in-person meet-ups, our network is open to CALD professionals across Australia through online meetings. This network is all about supporting each other in navigating the unique challenges we face when working with CALD communities, and promoting culturally inclusive mental health care. It’s a space to swap stories, discuss best practices, and stay updated on cultural competency and professional development.

Our quarterly meetings offer a vibrant safe space for professional development through guest presentations, case studies, panel discussions, and collaborative learning amongst mental health practitioners with expertise or interest in transcultural mental health space across the sectors. All events end with opportunities for networking, meaningful connections to inspire ongoing conversations.
Join us to be part of a transformative community focused network on making a real difference in mental health care for CALD populations!
