Bow Valley Mental Health Participatory Action Learning (MHPAL) Project
People from around the world think about and experience mental health differently, so the services and programs that work for one community might not work for another.
To learn how we can better support culturally and linguistically diverse groups in the Bow Valley, we’re leading the Bow Valley Mental Health Participatory Action Learning (MHPAL) Project 2022.
Local leaders from four different cultural groups in the Bow Valley will explore mental health experiences in their communities. With this information, they’ll develop culturally appropriate materials focusing on how to stay mentally healthy, and where to go for mental health support.
Participatory Action Learning (PAL) projects include:
Engaging with community members to learn more about a problem, and
Working to help solve that problem.
Unlike some types of studies, the people being studied are very involved in designing the project.
