Mental Health and Wellbeing

Mental health is more than the absence of mental health disorders or mental illness, it encompasses our social, emotional, and psychological wellbeing. It is a significant contributor to disability and has long-term impacts on physical health and quality of life, which are amplified by social inequalities. Facilitated by interdisciplinary perspectives, our research focuses on understanding mental health across the life course; prevention, intervention, and treatment; and developing novel supports and services for implementation in social and community care. We also work closely with external partners in government and health care delivery to ensure research is supporting the most pressing local, regional, and national needs for supporting and optimising mental health.
