Practical tips from cultural and psychological perspectives.
Including a special addendum on mental health for health and mental health professionals
Clinic Psychology’s Public Mental Health Initiative is proud to present a set of tip sheets based on cultural and psychological best practices, for individuals working with refugees from Syria and surrounding countries in the Middle East. The tips were developed as a collaborative initiative by cross cultural and international psychologists and a few public health workers around the world, and were developed to translate available knowledge to concrete and useful communication and action strategies. The tip sheets include accessible, applicable, succinct, and culturally relevant advice that are meant to be distributed as shared. The goal is to promote positive cross cultural experiences and assist in the transition of, and work with refugees from this region.
These tips draw on culturally appropriate psychological knowledge and available best practices for these areas:
- General Information
- Culture
- Family and Children
- Education
- Gender
- Building Relationships and Trust
- Migration and Resettlement
- Mental Health (focused on health and mental health professionals)
Clinic Psychology is happy to announce a workshop on ‘Working with Middle Eastern and Muslim Youth‘. Our aim is to build cross-cultural understanding and competency, to improve relations and create effective change in society. This is the first of our series of workshops, and we are hoping to bring many more to the public.
This workshop is ideal for psychologists, psychiatrists, school psychologists, counselors, therapists, teachers, social workers, physicians and others who work in supportive roles. It will look into detail on the cultural aspects that shape Middle Eastern and Muslim youth, and how this impacts their mental health. This workshop will provide insight and practical skills in cross-cultural therapy and interpersonal relationships. There will be a talk, followed by a Q &A, and an intimate discussion. Please register early, as there are only 15 spots available.
By the end of this workshop participants will understand:
- The role of culture and acculturation on mental health

Finally added some final touches to our office space! Some inspirational quotes are always good for the soul!
Worry and anxiety have an upside. It’s true. Many worriers are often more empathic, creative and sensitive people. And that can be quite a gift. But when the worry becomes overwhelming, it’s important to get some help. While you’re working on that anxiety though, remember that you have qualities that offset the distress of worry. Appreciating those special qualities while you’re working on your anxiety can help take the edge off your worry.
