Mental health knowledge built by service users and survivors
Welcome to the Survivor Researcher Network (SRN)
The Survivor Researcher Network is a UK based user-controlled network for mental health service users and survivors with an interest in research.
Previously hosted by NSUN, we are now an independent network and Community Interest Company. We continue to to develop the SRN as a network for survivor researchers and others with lived experience of mental distress who are interested or involved in research. We also seek funding to undertake research, and offer mentoring, training and consultancy.
This is a developing website which aims to provide survivor research resources, articles, and news. We welcome feedback.
You can join our network and receive our Survivor Researcher Network newsletter here.
