mental illness.

This edition of Synergy, titled Holistic Care, features a variety of
articles that highlight different approaches to treating mental illness.

A number of authors explore the cultural factors surrounding the adherence
of medication amongst people from CALD backgrounds. Other articles tap
into alternative approaches to recovery including exercise, massage and
aromatherapy.

This edition also features highlights from the recent national Diversity
In Health (DIH) Conference held in Sydney where Professor Anthony J.
Marsella, Ph.D. from the USA was one of the keynote speakers.

During Professor Marsella's visit down under he hosted a workshop on
culture, psychopathology and service delivery at a special forum on the
mental health needs of CALD communities living in South Australia. This
event was hosted by Multicultural Mental Health Australia (MMHA).

Professor Marsella also made a special contribution to this edition with
an article on ten key points for transcultural mental health
professionals.

This edition also includes information about MMHA's new CALD Consumer
Reference Group as well as all the regular features.

We hope you find the Holistic Care edition of Synergy informative.
