As the Chinese community in Melbourne continues to grow, so too does the population of older Chinese immigrants who have made Australia their home.

Loneliness, social isolation, and difficulty adjusting to life in a new country are common experiences that require our attention and understanding.

Childhood trauma, whether due to abuse, neglect, loss, or other adverse events, can have profound and lasting effects on mental health.
