Culturally Responsive Training

& Professional Development

Inclusive training for mental health practitioners, workplaces, and schools

At Umeed Psychology, we believe care, learning, and leadership should reflect the communities they serve. Our culturally responsive training and professional development programs in Melbourne & Sydney are designed to help professionals, schools, and organisations create spaces where diversity isn’t just acknowledged — it’s celebrated. out

  • Culture shapes how people experience identity, relationships, education, work, and mental health. Without cultural responsiveness, even the best-intentioned support can miss the mark. Our programs equip you with the knowledge, empathy, and practical strategies to work effectively across cultures.

    Participants walk away with:

    • A deeper understanding of how culture impacts communication, behaviour, and mental health

    • Tools to challenge bias and avoid cultural assumptions

    • Strategies for building safer, more inclusive spaces for staff, clients, and students

    • Confidence to support diverse communities with sensitivity and respect

  • We tailor training for:

    Mental Health Practitioners

    • Working with CALD clients in therapy and assessments

    • Navigating cultural stigma around mental health and help-seeking

    • Trauma-informed and intersectional approaches for migrant and refugee communities

    Corporate & Workplaces

    • Building inclusive workplace cultures that embrace diversity

    • Supporting neurodivergent and culturally diverse employees

    • Leadership development with a focus on equity and belonging

    Schools & Education

    • Promoting student wellbeing through identity and cultural pride

    • Addressing intergenerational pressures and stigma

    • Programs on self-esteem, respectful relationships, and culture-based wellbeing

  • Our workshops are interactive, practical, and story-driven. We combine lived experience, evidence-based research, and real-world scenarios to help participants apply what they learn immediately. Sessions can be delivered in-person across Melbourne, Sydney or online Australia-wide.

  • Whether you need a one-off workshop, ongoing professional development, or tailored consulting, Umeed Psychology works alongside you to create impact that lasts.

Client Feedback - Corporate Training

"This training was eye-opening and practical. It gave our team the language and tools to create a genuinely inclusive workplace, and helped us reflect on our own biases with compassion rather than shame. We walked away with strategies we can apply straight away."

Client Feedback - ACU Masters Psychology Student

"Anushka’s session on culturally responsive practice was one of the most impactful parts of our course. It challenged me to think critically about my role as a future psychologist and gave me practical ways to adapt therapy to support clients from diverse cultural backgrounds."
