Mental Health
This theme addresses the urgent national need for equitable, person-centred mental health care, with a particular focus on underserved rural and coastal communities.
Our research aims to improve mental health and wellbeing for people of all ages, while making sure everyone can access the right support when they need it. We explore ways to improve mental health services, strengthen connections between mental and physical health, and develop new approaches that make support more accessible in communities. Working with people with lived experience, families, health and care professionals and community organisations, we develop practical solutions that can reduce inequalities and improve mental health and wellbeing across the South West and beyond.
