Australians from culturally diverse backgrounds urged to ask for mental health support
Ahead of World Mental Health Day on Thursday, mental health charities and organisations are encouraging culturally diverse groups in Australia to ask for help.
More Australians than ever before are seeking treatment for a mental health condition.
But while the country has come a long way, advocacy groups are warning there is still a long way to go to break down the stigma around asking for help - particularly in some culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities.
