Mental Health Advocacy Service (MHAS)
MHAS’s person centred, and holistic approach has the capacity to provide support to people from CaLD backgrounds through their journey to recovery and increase their ability to participate in social and recreational activities and to live with an optimal level of independence in the community.
This service funded by the WA Mental Health Commission (WAMHC) improves access to mental health services for people of culturally and linguistically backgrounds affected by mental illness, including families and carers through provision of advocacy, information, referral, prevention and early intervention and other support services.
MHAS utilises strategies of community engagement and improved mental health literacy and education and training to de-stigmatise mental illness and to normalise help-seeking behaviour in CaLD communities
The MHAS works closely with mental health and other support services providers to ensure that mental health services are culturally and linguistically appropriate and accessible for CaLD clients.
The MHAS is committed to provide a high-quality service that is person centred, caters to the social and cultural beliefs, values and cultural practices of clients and their families and to encourage and support other Mental Health and support service providers, including public and non-government services, to do likewise.
