Encouraging and promoting dialogue within the CALD community is vital to raising awareness and pursuing positive outcome for mental health related issue amongst our migrant community.
Ukash is passionate about the challenges of Mental Health in CALD Communities, including his own African Communities. He has voluntarily and professionally been working on breaking down stigma, supporting and building capacity of communities and individuals in understanding Mental health challenges through his active involvement in the Multicultural Communities Council of SA Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Project, funded by SA Health and his role as an executive member of the Every Life Matters Salisbury Suicide Prevention Network.
