In partnership with a wide range of organisations, both government and community, the MHPPEI Program co-ordinates the planning, development, implementation and evaluation of initiatives addressing mental health promotion, prevention of mental ill-health and early recognition of mental health issues in culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) background communities.
