Video Scenarios 

 

During a 9 year period over 100 short videos were created for the CALD (Culturally and Linguistically Diverse) series. The scenarios were conceived, scripted and produced by me, drawing on my work as a clinical psychologst, my experience in the cross-cultural and refugee sectors, and as a script writer.  

 

The scenarios explore, demonstrate and reflect on how cross-cultural issues interact with health and mental health, within a range of different contexts. They are aimed at increasing awareness, expanding knowledge and demonstrating skills for practitioners to provide accessible and culturally appropriate healthcare to people with diverse health beliefs, needs and practices. 

 

Scenarios include: 

Patient/client/family-practitioner consultations across Asian, Middle Eastern, African and European-based cultures, focus groups, practitioner supervision, pracitioner reflections, best practice vs standard practice scenarios, expert reflections and discussions, interpreter-client issues, and interpreter-practitioner issues. Interactive and reflective questions are provided for learners.

They cover working with migrants and refugees, interpreters, religious issues, disability, mental health, older people and family violence, maternal health, and cultural competency.

Mind Health and  Emotional  Wellbeing

 

This DVD was produced for RASNZ and the Red Cross New Zealand for training volunteers who support and mentor refugees during their first 6 months of resettlement in New Zealand. Its aim is to develop awareness about refugee experiences, how these impact on wellbeing, and how to recognize various common mental health symptoms for appropriate referral (including depression, anxiety, PTSD and differing cultural expressions of distress).

 

It includes narration, footage of pre- and post-migration experiences, interviews with resettled refugees, text summaries, scenarios about mental health issues, and expert reflections.
