Black and Minority Ethnic User-led Perspectives in Mental Health
Survivor Research offers consultancy services in mental health research, evaluation, organisational development and service audits. We specialise in foregrounding the perspectives of Black and Minority Ethnic service users and survivors in the thinking and innovation around mental health, well being and recovery. Our expertise is based on:
- our training as researchers, with excellent knowledge of qualitative methodologies
- several years of experience as activists, critical theorists and development workers
- our strong identities as users/survivors of the psychiatric system and advocates of social change
- our political understanding of issues of race, culture and ethnicity and how that impacts on mental health and well being
In the pages of this website, you can read about our philosophy, the work we do, and short biographies of people associated with Survivor Research. The publications section has several articles and reports written by us that you can read online.
