As a psychiatric rehabilitation practitioner, I can use this knowledge to engage members of the community by increasing my awareness and understanding of cultural differences around mental health status and treatment options available within different communities. By recognizing potential barriers to accessing services such as stigma related to seeking help or limited access due to socio-economic status, practitioners can develop strategies tailored towards addressing these issues specific to different populations. For example, if working with a woman from a Middle Eastern country with lower socioeconomic status who is suffering from depression, I would aim to create an action plan which incorporates culturally competent practice. This could include creating pathways into appropriate support networks for this population group or developing initiatives which increase public awareness about mental health resources in each language spoken by the target group.

In conclusion, this article has highlighted the importance of exploring ways in which we can address mental health disparities across social groups by targeting stigmatization and increasing access to service delivery models tailored towards individual contexts. With adequate education on how best to respond appropriately when engaging members from diverse backgrounds and cultures around mental health topics, practitioners have greater opportunities for successful interventions which reduce inequalities among social groups in terms of access and outcomes related to psychological well being.
