Hi everyone,

We have a great research opportunity for you to get involved in that is looking into people's experiences of mental health hospital admissions.

Here's a bit more information about the research study:
Kirsty and Alex are working on a research project to better understand:
• What support could help individuals, their families and carers to safely avoid an admission to hospital for a mental health crisis
• What support could enable people to get well more quickly and for admissions to be shorter
• How discharge arrangements could be improved.

You can find out more about this study over on their website - https://www.imhnsurrey.com/blank-1/alex-and-kirsty-peer-researchers-introduce-themselves-and-the-work-they-re-going-to-be-doing
