Webinar: How to get co-creation right in mental health research
Join us on 15 May 2024, Wednesday at 10AM (CEST) for an interactive discussion about co-creation in mental health research. This event is part of the European Mental Health Week celebration happening from 13-19 May 2024.
About the webinar
Undeniably, co-creation approaches in mental health research are needed to bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and what is actually happening in people’s lives. But how is co-creation applied in current research practices and in different settings? How do Horizon Europe projects ensure that the design and implementation of their co-creation processes benefit their co-creators as much as it benefit them? And what learnings and best practices should these big projects apply moving forward?
Jointly organised by 7 huge EU Horizon Europe projects on ‘Mental Health in Times of Change’, this webinar will delve into fresh and first-hand experiences involving practitioners and people with lived experience as co-researchers/ co-creators. Specifically, the discussion will center on the context of mental health interventions for various European populations. This webinar aims to provide a platform to explore both advantages and challenges that co-creators face, and the ways by which we can overcome these barriers.
