Competent multicultural mental health professionals play a key role in success of mental health counseling interventions (Connerley & Pederson, 2005).

CBT has been validated and used across many cultures, and has been used successfully by community therapists following brief training in individual and group settings. CBT has been found to have a preventive role in some studies, but evidence for definitive recommendations is inadequate (Clinical Psychology, 2010).
