> I'm currently working on a new program exploring multicultural health.
>
> Ideally the program will bring together a multidisciplinary team
> consisting of bilingual counselors, community development workers and
> health promotion staff to work closely with ethnic communities.
>
> The aim of the program will be to develop strategies which facilitate
> ethnic minority access to mainstream health services while also
> developing the capacity of these communities to develop and provide
> preventative programs.
>
> A particular focus of the team will be to develop social capital by
> fostering community control over the determinants of health. The
> literature I have sourced to date has emphasized issues of psychological
> and emotional well being related to the pressures of resettlement,
> social isolation and cross cultural integration.
>
> Any help/guidance you could provide in locating literature documenting
> models of best practice (particularly multidisciplinary teams) would be
> greatly appreciated.
