Help-seeking experiences of young people of culturally and/or linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds following suicidal thoughts and behaviours in Melbourne, Australia: a qualitative approach
These findings highlight social, cultural and organisational barriers that shape the help-seeking journeys of young people from CALD backgrounds experiencing STB. Results suggest a need for culturally sensitive suicide prevention strategies, enhanced cultural competency in healthcare settings and efforts to improve mental health literacy within CALD communities.
