This program explores mainstream mental illnesses and their cultural manifestation with Aboriginal people. This module focuses specifically on Depression in terms of its symptom-based differences and how to treat culture bound depression to Aboriginal clients .
The module will further delve into cultural grief and provide participants with therapeutic strategies to deal with complex cultural and traumatic grief in Aboriginal clients with a number of applied case studies.
This Session:
- From 9:00 am – 3:00 pm (with breaks)
- 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm The afternoon session (until 4:00 pm) is an open Q & A session on complex clients that participants are able to ask of Dr Westerman. This will be a moderated session with questions sent in prior to the workshop.

At the end of this module, you should be able to:
- Depression: Explain the limitations of the existing research has led to significant gaps in our understanding of depression as well as the lack of empirical foundation upon which to further expand our ability to prevent depression in Aboriginal people
- Describe the epidemiological research and what it tells us about the prevalence of depression in Aboriginal populations compared with non-Aboriginal
- List the range of cultural issues that can impact upon the presentation of depression and accurate assessment of depression in Aboriginal people
- Better understand the role of culture in treating depression in Aboriginal people with a specific focus on cultural grief reactions, dissociative identity disorder, dissociative fugue and a range of other conditions that impact upon Aboriginal people under the Mood Disorder category
- Understand the difference between sorry cutting and self harm. At what point do clinicians need to intervene in ‘cultural grieving’
- Understand the difference between traumatic and non traumatic grief and learn therapeutic strategies with Aboriginal clients through a number of applied case studies.
- Utilise mainstream intervention/therapeutic approaches in combination with cultural interventions to address culture bound depression using an applied Case example
