Understanding the mental health and wellbeing of Afghan women in South East Melbourne.

A report of a Fellow in the Victorian Public Health Training Scheme while on placement at Foundation House.

Author(s): Rintoul, A; January 2010

In early 2009, a consortium of health professionals in the Dandenong area identified a need to address mental health concerns among Afghan families of a refugee background. This research explores and documents issues contributing to poor mental health and wellbeing among women of childbearing age and their families. The research project was conducted through a collaboration of the Department of Health, Monash University and Foundation House and made possible with the financial support of the Sidney Myer Fund and William Buckland Foundation.
