Welcome to the first topic of Family, Societal and Cultural Influences on Children’s Mental Wellbeing. Throughout the course of this three-week topic, we will be exploring what culture is, how experiences of childhood differ between cultural groups, and how an individual’s culture can shape how mental ill health is understood.
