@alivenational.bsky.social welcome to our Centre we have moved to clearer skies!!!!

Before @alivenational.bsky.social centre, I set up a codesign living labs program embedding people living with ongoing distress and mental ill-health and carer family kinship groups in design and translation. Codesigners shaped a philosophy of practice: www.frontiersin.org/journals/pub...

Enjoyed listening to @profmbanfield.bsky.social in conversation with @viscidula.bsky.social for the @alivenational.bsky.social virtual translation Cafe. Discussing all things lived experience research in mental health and how process is so important but often becomes eroded by research limits.

Yessssss! Journal editors and board members let’s do this! Folks on academic org committees! We can make the case to at the very least change the “Your Twitter handle” box on everything to something like “Your social media profile” #commsky I for one would be thrilled by “Share to Bluesky”

Join us on 3 December as we unpack findings from early implementation research of five of Neami’s Medicare Mental Health centres (formerly Head to Health), undertaken in partnership with Neami National. Register at bit.ly/3URJLas

Hi 👋 bluesky! Here, in the below is some of my work in codesign and coproduction from working in mental health care research. The participatory zeitgiest here mh.bmj.com/content/45/3... presents a theoretical model of the relational transitions that help understand how things work in co-design 👇
