I think sadly, that all the institutions that you think that you can trust and are brought up to believe you could trust, such as the NHS, police, lawyers, mental health institutions. The ones that you would think fundamentally and absolutely, are the place to go for safety, are not in my experience. Coming into a collective of people, like we are today, and sharing our experience of mental health and what that looks like, feels far more safe to me

“For this research, we want to equalise it. Not focusing specifically on marginalised people, but just including them in the data pool.” – Rumilla

“Talking about stress wasn’t what I needed to do to overcome it. If you do care I don’t want you to worry, and if you don’t care I don’t want you to know.” – Rumilla

Working with the CWC researchers was inspiring. I realised that community driven research could develop immediate local benefits, whilst providing insights for the direction of academic research. It is so important to support and learn from such projects and hear from a diverse group of individuals, determined to support their community. – Pippa Thomson, Lecturer and Researcher
