The training brings in their personal perspectives and learnings on their internships, career development fellowships and springboard funding awards.

We welcome applications from frontline workers in mental health services, at any age and stage of their career. Applications should have an active interest in pursuing research.

Aims

This course aims to widen your understanding of research, its processes and how to develop your journey through it. You will hear from colleagues about their different experiences of integrating research in their everyday practice, from using existing literature to conducting research. We will also reflect on the role that your existing experiences, both personal and professional, can play in your research journey.

By the end of this training you will have:

1. Learned how to develop your own pathway into and through research
2. Developed an understanding of how to embed research in your role
3. An overview of tools to advocate for your own and others’ research engagement
4. Practised pitching ideas to develop into research
