Mindset Revolution: The Process
#mindsetrevolution Strengthening Youth Voice on Youth Mental Health
Policy Proposal 1: Progressing the influence of diverse cultures within mental health services
- We want to provide incentives and campaigns within schools so that people within the mental health service from marginalised backgrounds can support young people from marginalised backgrounds and help us raise awareness
- There should be established cultural competency training for all mental health professionals from non marginalised backgrounds and this can be done through educational programs that focus on cultural sensitivity so that they understand how to support young people from marginalised backgrounds (see proposal 3 for more details on this point)
- There needs to be cultural sensitivity training in schools and mental health services, and youth-led legislative theatre could be a way of doing this.
