Cultural Diversities in (Mental) Health Care

Duration
December 2017 until now
Project type
Research

We explore how insights from culturally minoritised groups can improve care for everyone. For example, we study the differences in psychosocial care needs among elementary school students in the Netherlands and examine how counsellors address these differences. Additionally, we investigate the intercultural communication challenges that Dutch healthcare professionals encounter when interacting with Turkish patients.

PhD students such as Marloes Jaspers-van der Maten, Iclal Yildiz, and José Renkens, along with researchers like Aniek Herwaarden, Nienke Peters-Scheffer, and Nisrine Chaer, are actively engaged in this research.
