Towards a Culturally Adapted Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Depression in Chinese Migrants living in Australia

Abstract

In a world where migration is becoming an increasing global reality, migrants’ mental health is a cause of concern as they may face dual vulnerabilities due to cultural and structural barriers to treatment. The findings of this research program, comprising a scoping review, interviews, and a survey, provide insight into the development of a culturally sensitive version of cognitive behavioural therapy for depression in Chinese migrants, to ultimately improve engagement and treatment outcomes.
