CoActuem per la Salut Mental

We place people with mental health problems and their families at the centre of research on mental health support networks.
We have employed a bot to gather new scientific data on lived experiences in mental health. ​​​​​​ The bot contains 222 micro-stories written by co-researchers and provides a safe and private environment for sharing mental health experiences and their social support networks. The data obtained has led to the development of 14 policy recommendations for promoting and reinforcing social support networks in mental health. This project is being conducted in collaboration with ​Salut Mental Catalunya.
