Welcome to the Learning Hub
Our online learning modules will guide you through a range of practices and topics that build cultural responsiveness in mental health settings. We hope they help you in your work – whatever it may be.
Some modules support our workshop program by acting as pre-readings, and can also be completed as standalone learning, either individually or as part of team-based professional development. They are all self-paced, so you can log in and out at any time and save your progress as you go.
