Culturally Responsive and Linguistically Appropriate Adaptation of Evidence-based Psychological Treatment for Chinese-speaking Older Adults – By Dr Jessamine Chen, PhD

Over 60% of older Australians who speak Mandarin Chinese or Cantonese at home do not speak English well or at all – yet evidence-based psychological interventions for anxiety and depression in Chinese languages remain largely unavailable. This webinar provides clinicians with key principles for tailoring treatments while maintaining fidelity to evidence-based practice. You will learn about common therapist traps when working with Chinese-speaking older adults, practical strategies to address them, and how culturally responsive adaptations can be applied across assessment, formulation, and treatment planning through real case examples. Live via Zoom – 7:00 to 8:30 pm AEST – Thursday 6 August 2025 A Zoom link will be sent to all registered participants. Registration closes on 2 August 2026.
