Creating new mental health supports for South Asian communities

By Sean O’Malley A Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) team has been given just over a million dollars from Health Canada to develop a culturally adapted form of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for Canadians of South Asian origin. Canada is home to 1.6 million people of South Asian origin, the largest racialized group in the country.  Previous research has shown higher rates of anxiety and mood disorders for this population compared to immigrants from other parts of the world, primarily due to cultural and socio-economic factors. People of South Asian origin also have the highest perceived barriers to mental health treatment, and are 85 per cent less likely to seek treatment for mental illness than those who identify as white. This is the first major project
