Abstract

ABSTRACTThis paper presents a systematic review that assessed the different types of mental health programs and interventions available for young people from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) backgrounds in Australia, and identified core elements of practice for supporting the mental health of CALD youth, and key barriers that preclude CALD youth from engaging with mental health services. A total of 19 articles met inclusion criteria and a total of six distinct practices were identified: (1) personalization, identity and recognition of trauma; (2) creative expression; (3) cultural competence; (4) self-efficacy and empowerment; (5) social connections and relationships; and (6) information and content delivery. Key barriers related to engagement with CALD youth mental health programs included language and literacy barriers, stigma and shame, and service providers’ limited cultural competency, and lack of diverse understandings of wellbeing. The findings from this review suggest several avenues for ensuring practice that effectively meets the unique mental health needs of CALD young people and reduces barriers to their access and engagement.KEYWORDS: CALDAustraliaculturally and linguistically diversemental healthpracticeyoung people Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Supplementary materialSupplemental data for this article can be accessed online at https://doi.org/10.1080/15332985.2023.2273227.

有效地支持文化和语言多样性(CALD)年轻人的心理健康和福祉——这在澳大利亚重要吗?

摘要本文系统回顾了澳大利亚不同类型的心理健康项目和干预措施，评估了来自文化和语言多样性(CALD)背景的年轻人，并确定了支持CALD青年心理健康的实践核心要素，以及阻碍CALD青年参与心理健康服务的主要障碍。共有19篇文章符合纳入标准，并确定了6种不同的做法:(1)个性化，创伤的身份和识别;(二)创造性表达;(3)文化能力;(4)自我效能和授权;(5)社会联系和关系;(6)信息和内容传递。与CALD青少年心理健康项目相关的主要障碍包括语言和识字障碍、耻辱和羞耻、服务提供者有限的文化能力，以及缺乏对幸福的不同理解。本综述的结果提出了几种途径，以确保实践有效地满足CALD年轻人独特的心理健康需求，并减少他们接触和参与的障碍。关键词:cald澳大利亚多元文化和语言健康实践年轻人披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。补充材料本文的补充数据可在https://doi.org/10.1080/15332985.2023.2273227上在线获取。
