On April 8, 2014, Dr. Farah Shroff, University of British Columbia will present "Seeking Mental Well-Being: a story of working class women in Northern England". This sociological study examines the lives of women who had many struggles such as putting food on the table, dealing with violence from their spouses, insecure housing and so forth. Their primary care physicians, hearing their situations, felt that treatment choices were limited and prescribed mood altering medications for many years. This is a story of a group of women who found each other in their mutual desire for a better life and what they did to attain it.

On April 15, 2014, Dr. Jaemin Kim, SAMI Alumni and Project Coordinator at the Institute for Work & Health will present "The mental health of Korean transnational mothers". A recent migration trend from Korea is the transnational family arrangement where mothers migrate with children to English speaking countries while fathers stay in the home country. Mothers in those families may experience more challenges than other family members because they have to adjust to a new country, new parenting role, and family separation. But little is known about their mental health. This webinar will present a scoping review of the evidences in the literature on impact of transnational family arrangement and migration on the mental health of Korean transnational mothers.

On April 29, 2014, Dr. Jessica Dere, Clinical Lecturer in the Department of Psychiatry, University of Toronto Scarborough and SAMI Alumni will present "A cross-cultural study of depressive symptoms: Measurement invariance of the BDI-II among Chinese- and European-heritage students". A significant literature exists regarding variations in depressive symptom reporting between samples of Chinese and 'Western' cultural heritage. This webinar will provide an overview of the existing literature, and then discuss a recent study that examined the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) among a large sample of Chinese-heritage and European-heritage undergraduate students. Implications for the literature on culture and depression will be discussed, along with lessons for cross-cultural psychopathology research more broadly.
