We are keen to learn more about groups of people who are currently not well represented in research, their mental health priorities and how they would like to share their experiences.
Our vision is to make mental health research more inclusive.
We do this by conducting research based on listening to the experiences of young people, families and communities.
We partner with local charities to develop creative methods, including things like art, music, drama and other creative approaches.
We are a team of researchers from at the University of Birmingham and the University of Oxford. We want to improve the mental health of children and young people through partnerships with local communities.
We are engaging with a range of young people, through our partners, and this is helping us to better understand what matters most to young people and what they think about involvement in research.
We have been working alongside children and young people in local communities in collaboration with partners from different parts of England.
