In this episode Dr Amy Skinner, Ruth Lambley and Bryony Boyle discuss a collaboration between Up for Yorkshire, an infrastructure organisation based in Selby, and the Converge Evaluation and Research Team - a group of researchers at York St John University with lived experience of mental health challenges. The project addressed the question: How do we better listen to, capture and represent the voices of people with lived experience in order to have a meaningful impact on policy and the design of community services. How can we support those with lived experience to participate purposefully? This podcast explores how the project came to be; how developing strong relationships was a key success; how the project evolved from our initial plan; and plans and ambitions for phase 2 having successfully gained follow-on funding.
