In this podcast, we are joined by Dr. Alice Taylor, a clinical psychologist for CAMHS in Scotland, to discuss her co-authored CAMH review paper “Cultural adaptations to psychosocial interventions for families with refugee/asylum-seeker status in the United Kingdom – a systematic review” (doi.org/10.1111/camh.12547).
Alice begins by giving us with a brief overview of the paper and sharing insight into what they looked at in this review.
Alice provides some examples of cultural adaptations and explains how these differ from nonculturally adapted interventions, which are also known as treatment as usual.
Alice then explores this further by discussing the ways in which treatment as usual can act as a barrier to accessing quality mental health care for families with refugee and/or asylum-seeking status, before turning to explain how cultural adaptions could improve the situation.
Furthermore, Alice shares additional key takeaways from her review, comments on what the implications of her findings are for CAMH professionals, plus shares her message to policymakers based on her research.
