Our next SRN Discussion and Support Group meeting is at 17.30 BST on Tuesday 19th August.
These 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 for ourselves.
We have a peer support section of the meeting where you can bring research related issues of concern for support and discussion.
This month we welcome Dr Ruth Knight who will be speaking about the LENS network:
“The Lived Experience Network for Scholars (LENS) is here to support any academic mental health and/or addiction researcher who has lived experience. We were set up with funding from the NIHR Mental Heath Incubator as many mental health and/or addiction researchers have lived experience and would like more support and our network aims to provide it. … The network is especially relevant to early career researchers, but also will benefit academics at all stages of their research careers to build their resilience and capacity as lived-experience researchers. …. The network is co-led by Dr Ruth Naughton-Doe (University of York) and Dr Ruth Knight, (York St John University).”
Our meetings are via Zoom. You can register for this August 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.
