OnlineYou are invited to join our upcoming webinar on lived experience in mental health research, co-hosted by the RANZCP and the Society for Mental Health Research (SMHR). We are delighted to have Professor Michelle Banfield as our guest presenter.
About this webinar:
The importance of incorporating lived expertise in our research for high quality outcomes has been recognised for decades, but not necessarily enacted.
This webinar will provide a practical overview of where we have come from and where we are going (or should be) in lived experience research, who should be with us on the journey, and how we get to the best destination. It will draw on over 20 years of conducting mental health research, from humble beginnings as a lived experience research assistant, to the ALIVE National Centre for Mental Health Research Translation, including frameworks to guide good practice.
Co-hosted by the RANZCP and the Society for Mental Health Research (SMHR)
