Committee on Mental Health

Mental Health Care for Migrants and Ethnic Minorities: Discussion

Mr. Patrick Reilly:

Yes. Sometimes I might not ask the ethnicity question at the initial meeting. It might be that the person is not in the right space, but we build up that relationship and we can ask the ethnicity question down the line. That all comes with the training. I understand that people will think certain things if I ask the question, but it is about how you ask it. It is universal. We ask it of everyone. It is more welcoming.
