  This project attempted to develop a process for the conceptual translation of psycho-educational materials for families from diverse backgrounds. Participants were selected from the Arabic and Cantonese speaking immigrants with a serious mental illness, and their families. A previously established psycho-educational program and its manual, developed for English speaking families, were adapted to the objectives of this program and were applied. Bi-lingual Arabic and Chinese mental health professionals translated the concepts into Arabic and Chinese and taught them during multiple-family group programs and routine clinical practice. After completing the program, families attending the multiple-family programs reported a reduction in the burden and stress of taking care of their mentally ill relative. The approval of findings requires replicating the study, using a larger sample size.       Manuscript profile
