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.

By the end of this workshop participants will understand:

  • The role of culture and acculturation on mental health
