Jing Xu is a Master of Social Work student at the University of Auckland. She would like to invite you to take part in a study about “the mental health practitioners’ perspectives on working with Chinese migrants in relation to mental health service delivery and accessibility”.
What is the study about?
Jing Xu would like to speak with mental health practitioners individually to understand the following themes:
(1). Identification of the impediments that Chinese migrants may experience in relation to the access and use of mental health services
(2). Identification of the challenges that mental health practitioners face in delivering services to Chinese immigrants
(3). Determining strategies, solutions, and/or new approaches which would improve professional practice when working with Chinese immigrants.
Through this study, it will be possible to identify critical issues and ways that mental health practitioners can deliver culturally appropriate services to Chinese immigrants.
The focus of this study is on your professional perspectives of working with Chinese migrants in mental health settings rather than upon the specific workplace practices of your agency or organisation that you have been or are currently employed.
