Lived experience action research (LEAR) group
Founded in 2019, the LEAR group consists of 15 service users and carers and is also open to Trust staff with lived experience of mental health conditions. They are a very supportive and passionate group with a range of experiences, meeting monthly and welcoming guest speakers looking for service user input into research grant submissions or service evaluations. When required, splinter groups can be set up for group members to support ongoing research projects.
