Webinar: So What Can We Learn From Lived Experience Experts in Research?

This session explores what meaningful involvement of young people in research looks like in practice, and how it can strengthen the quality, relevance and impact of mental health evidence.

Our ‘So What?’ seminar series

The So What? seminar series builds the bridge between evidence and practice in children and young people’s mental health. Each seminar, we ask "So what does this mean?" in response to research findings, project outcomes and the work of our collaborators.

About this seminar

In this session, we will explore what meaningful involvement of lived experience experts in research looks like in practice. Drawing on examples from recent research studies, co-produced projects and lived-experience researchers, the seminar will examine how involving parents carers and young people can strengthen the quality, relevance, and impact of evidence in children and young people’s mental health.

Who should attend?

This webinar is suitable for anyone interested children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing. This includes researchers, policymakers and practitioners working in mental health services, schools and community settings.

Young people, parents and carers are also welcome to join us.
