Empowering CALD Teenagers Program
The "Empowering CALD Teenagers Program" is a culturally tailored initiative aimed at supporting teenagers aged 13-18 from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities in Perth. This program seeks to address the unique challenges faced by CALD teenagers through fortnightly workshops that promote education, mental health awareness, and personal development. The initiative targets critical topics such as the importance of consent, relationships, sex education, stress management, addictions, anxiety, and depression, which are often considered taboo in many CALD cultures.
