Making Mental Health a Global Priority 

TRANSCULTURAL MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES AND INFORMATION
	Multicultural Mental Health Australia (MMHA) has released a number of new mental health resources with a couple of leading agencies. MMHA launched its "What Is..." series of mental health fact sheets in over 20 languages at the recent Diversity In Health Conference in Sydney. The 10 topics cover issues surrounding mental illness, anxiety, bipolar mood disorder, eating disorders, depression, personality disorders, schizophrenia, challenging behaviors and suicide. The fact sheets are available in Amharic, Arabic, Assyrian, Chinese, Croatian, Dari, Dinka, English, Farsi, Greek, Italian, Khmer, Korean, Krio, Macedonian, Polish, Russian, Serbian, Spanish, Swahili, Turkish and Vietnamese. The series has also been adapted for people with a print disability. MMHA and Australia*s leading provider of blindness and low vision services, Vision Australia, have produced the series into braille, large print, electronic text for the internet and audio formats such as CD, cassette and DAISY for those with a print disability. In addition to these new resources, MMHA has also released a new series of bilingual resources with beyondblue: the national depression initiative. The fact sheets which previously were only available in English have now been produced in Arabic, Assyrian, Bosnian, Khmer, Croatian, Dari, Farsi, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Lao, Macedonian, Polish, Punjabi, Russian, Serbian, Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese), Somalian, Spanish, Tamil, Thai, Turkish and Vietnamese. The resources include: The Depression Checklist, Understanding Depression, Living and Caring for a Person with Depression, How Can You Help Someone with Depression? Depression and antidepressant medication and Emotional Health During Pregnancy and Early Parenthood.
