Abstract

This chapter introduces you to the importance of culturally based health and well-being and to health care delivered by mental health nurses. There is a need for mental health professionals to incorporate knowledge about these beliefs and to develop the skills to work with clients from cultures other than their own if they are to care for them effectively (Gorman et al., 2003)
