Criminalising Distress: research team meeting #1

This first meeting will focus on getting to know each other and discussing how we want to work together. We will also discuss the design of the project including its aims, key research questions and methods.

It would be really helpful if you could familiarise yourself with “Serenity Integrated Mentoring”, if you’re not already. The best source is probably the StopSIM website.

• Police call monitoring could deny help to people in mental health crisis (Guardian)
• Serenity Integrated Mentoring (Mental Health at Home)

We’re potentially quite a big group, so plan to split off into smaller teams who will then work fairly autonomously—with the support of our research manager—coming back together with the wider group at set stages to share knowledge.

Register to let us know you’re coming, and you’ll automatically receive the Zoom link on the day.
