Chinese/Mandarin community in NSW in partnership with Chinese Australian Services Society (CASS)
The resources developed by Chinese/Mandarin community in NSW in partnership with CASS are focused on addressing the highest priority mental health needs/issues of stigma, anxiety disorders among children and adolescents, family conflicts and social isolation experience by elderly and international students.
In response to the mental health needs/issues identified a series of 4 community education videos designed to enhance the community's understanding of mental health have been developed. The videos are presented in Mandarin with subtitles in simplified Chinese and English, as well as in Cantonese with subtitles in traditional Chinese and English, ensuring accessibility for all Chinese community members from various backgrounds. In addition to this, a set information flyers have been developed, consolidating information about local support and activities in four key areas of Sydney (Northern, Inner West, Central and Southwest Sydney) with concentrated Chinese communities.
