Public Involvement
We believe that good public involvement can lead to research that is more relevant and has a greater chance of contributing to positive change. We recruit people to research advisory groups and we have a peer review panel that provides feedback on research plans. We have our own Young People’s Advisory Group. We have a wider Young People’s Network that advises on mental health research in children and young people.
Please see our current projects for examples of the work we do. The people icon identifies projects with a public involvement component and below is a list of our active projects.
