Please note that this post was originally written in 2021, for our former website.

In September, we held three workshops to discuss our ideas further. Each workshop was based on a different theme that had emerged from our previous discussions in June. We also invited some stakeholders from Public Health England and the mental health charities Mind and Off the Record to one of our workshops. The discussions were very fruitful and we have some much clearer ideas of the research questions we would like to address (and how we might address them). We’re now preparing for our next events: a stakeholder engagement event and a writing retreat.

As with our June workshops, we were delighted to have illustrator Laura Sorvala live scribe our discussions!
