The training manual was developed after a study involving participants randomly assigned to receive sessions of either culturally adapted CBT, or standard CBT
Anxiety fuelled by loneliness and self-doubt had such a grip on Sidra Mobin that she couldn’t get out of bed some days and took a leave from work. When the family she’d recently left in Pakistan called, she would keep her troubles in Canada to herself for fear of worrying them.Mobin, 35, arrived in Burnaby, B.C., in June 2020. She didn’t know anyone and worked from home in a job that offered little challenge after a career as a management consultant in the bustling city of Karachi.
The manual was developed after the study involving 146 participants, including Mobin, who were randomly assigned to receive eight to 12 sessions of either that model of therapy, or standard CBT from 29 specially trained therapists of various racial and ethnic backgrounds. “You might think that coming from a Muslim country, I might be suppressed or something like that, but I’m not. I had a very good life back home. I was very independent. I was doing everything that I do over here as well. And it did not come as a surprise to him.”
South Asians born in Canada showed more improvement in depressive symptoms, said Naeem, who is also a professor of psychiatry at the University of Toronto. “I’m hoping that through this project people from other kinds of ethnic or racial backgrounds could also get culturally adapted therapy and services,” Naeem said.
