The resource is divided into four sections:
‘Culture’: introduces the concept of culture, its relevance to mental health, and tools that can help clarify the role culture plays in health settings.
‘Interview’: questions adapted from the Cultural Formation Interview (CFI) assist practitioners to explore culture, mental health and well-being.
‘Key Concepts’: considers issues that may be relevant to consumers when conducting culturally responsive interviews.
‘Expanding Practice’: encourages practitioners to reflect on cultural aspects of mental health and includes links to other resources, including client videos.
