Principles underpinning culturally centred supervision:

  • Maintain an ethical practice, when we ensure we use an outsider perspective into our work.

  • Carry accountability, when we say we are not experts, but experienced in the work we provide.

  • Acknowledge that pain and suffering is universal, but our academic trainings in psychology and mental health diagnostic standards is founded on industrialized western middle class functioning.

  • Carry responsibility to translate these learnings into cross cultural practice with duty of care.
