Our next SRN Discussion and Support Group meeting is at 17.30 BST on Thursday 21st May.

This month our speaker, Charlotte Crowl, will be talking about: “Lived experience research and reality”.

Charlotte is a self-awareness advisor, author, speaker, NIHR Mental Health Research for All Fellow, and peer support worker. Drawing on over 17 years of lived experience following a teenage cancer diagnosis, her work centres on holistic wellbeing, self-awareness and lived experience to help people through physical and mental health. Charlotte will be sharing her MH ALL research fellowship journey, from training to formulating a research question, presenting, and public engagement, as well as looking ahead to what is next.

The meetings provide a space for people with lived experience of mental distress to discuss research related topics and the issues and barriers we face in getting involved in doing mental health research.

We will also be.a peer support section of the meeting where you can bring research related issues of concern for support and discussion.

Our meetings are via Zoom. You can register for this May 2026 meeting here.

Although our primary focus is often on  mental health research in England, we also welcome researchers with lived experience of mental distress who are involved in other areas of research and survivor researchers from outside England or the UK.

We need your feedback on these meetings. If you’ve been to any of our Discussion and Support meetings in the last year or so, please let us know what you think of the meetings and share your views on what you want from them. We are also asking about the timing of the meetings. Please spare a few minutes to  complete our anonymous feedback form  here.
