WEBINAR SERIES: COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WITHIN RESEARCH UPTAKE: MENTAL HEALTH
Engagement is recognised as a crucial enabler of research uptake, where community perspectives and concerns shape how research findings are translated and add motivation for them to be applied at local and national level. This is explored further by a variety of speakers in the webinar series presented by MESH and ARCH on “Community engagement within research uptake”.
This particular webinar explores the role of community participation in healthcare policy with a focus on mental health. Two experts in the field share their experiences of different research methods, creative interventions and service-user activism which have worked towards inclusive solutions to mental well-being in Southern Africa and Latin America.
