<font size="3">This APS Institute workshop is likely to be of interest to a range of practitioners who work with and/or are required to conduct assessments with culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) clients. It might be too late for tomorrow's Melbourne
workshop, but there are still places in Sydney (Sat 15/11) and Brisbane (Sat 22/11 -

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><font face="Verdana" size="3">The workshop is specifically designed to assist psychologists, counsellors, social workers and case workers from not-for-profit organisations working with CALD groups
to: understand the definition of “intelligence” from different cultures; utilise the Cultural Formulation Interview (CFI) from DSM-5; utilise cognitive impairment screening tools for CALD clients; understand the effects of culture and education on neuropsychological
testing; understand the effects of trauma and refugee experience on psychological and neuropsychological presentation; and identify factors that impact on neuropsychological assessment for Indigenous clients. It presents and discusses recent Australian, UK
and US research on effect of trauma and torture on the psychological and neuropsychological profiles of CALD clients, including incorporation of information from Mental Health in Multicultural Australia (MHiMA) and Foundation House (for survivors of torture).</font></p>
