In Finland, immigrant-background families are often treated differently than other families when it comes to seeking help for their children.
Mahad Sheikh Musse, a multicultural youth work professional with over 20 years of experience, contends that this practice creates inequality and alienates families from support services. He emphasizes that cultural backgrounds should not dictate the methods of providing assistance and that every individual and family deserves to be treated equally and respectfully.
He believes that the best approach is to connect with parents, listen to their needs, and work together to find solutions, just as with any other family seeking support.
