My primary mission is to provide services that address the psychological and mental health needs of young people, adults and families from mainstream groups, multicultural communities and people of colour, who have been historically under-represented in gaining access to mental health or excluded altogether to services because of their race, gender, class, sexual orientation or disability. Therefore, my goal is to optimise and improve the emotional health and overall emotional well-being of these groups and provide an evidence-based and culturally competent clinical service that address the psychological and mental health needs of, young people, adults families, parents and carers.
