The General Practice Mental Health Standards Collaboration has developed a new suite of resources to assist GPs in providing inclusive, trauma-informed and culturally safe care to patients from diverse backgrounds.
Developed in collaboration with GPs, a carer representative and a consumer representative the resources are designed to support mental health treatment plans, offering practical tips to build trust, ask sensitive questions respectfully and recognise when to proceed with caution.
The five resources cover Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, veterans, refugees, LGBTQIA+ and culturally and linguistically diverse communities.
