Adult mental health projects
- Does co-locating public mental health interventions in community settings improve mental health and reduce health inequalities?
- Real life matter: A study of what, where, and how services in community spaces work for older adults.
- Evaluation of the health and financial impacts of co-located welfare services in primary care in times of austerity
- Using big data to understand public mental health interventions and inequalities
- Public perspectives on inequalities in public mental health
Children & young people mental health projects
- School culture and student mental health: a participatory action research study
- Secondary school support for the mental health of students in the COVID-19 era
- Creating a Health Research Network to improve young people’s mental health and well-being
There will be presentations on all eight projects co-facilitated by academic researchers and peer researchers who have worked together throughout this phase of the programme.
