The more people who take part in our study, the more we’ll be able to learn about the triggers and causes of mental health problems.

If you’re happy to, we would love for you to share that you’ve taken part on social media and encourage your friends and family to do the same.

And while we’re talking social media, you can follow us on Twitter and Instagram and like our page on Facebook. We’ll be sharing updates from our research, new blogs and podcasts and snippets from the events we attend.

Enjoy writing? We’re always on the lookout for guest blogs from our community, so whether you wanted to share your personal experiences of mental health or there’s a specific topic you would like to write about, drop us a line at info@ncmh.info and our communications team will be in touch.

We won’t be able to accept every submission and there are certain areas we prefer to steer clear of (like politics!). Browse our latest posts for an idea the type of content we publish.

Our champions are people who have taken part in our research and agreed to share their experiences of participating in research as well as stories about their personal experiences of mental health.

This helps us contribute to the battle against stigma as well as show others that by participating in research they are making a positive contribution to better understanding for the future.

We also involve our champions in a variety of other areas of our engagement work, including:

• Being interviewed on our podcast, Piece of Mind
• Speaking about their experiences at our events
• Sharing their stories in the media (print, online, TV and radio)
• Asking for feedback and suggestions on our promotional and educational materials

We support involvement in mental health research through PÂR (Partnership in Research), our public involvement group made up of people with direct experience of mental health problems from all around Wales.
