For those arriving here, listen to learnings from our 8 funded teams (and our team), and join conversations about measuring complexity of 'learning by doing' co-production across contexts (in the UK)

Welcome to anyone: #involvement #coproduction #livedexperience #evaluation
Slide with names of each of the eight funded projects in the Measuring Success Programme. These are: Co-production from the inside-out; Assessing the impact of co-production in fostering equality and diversity in mental health and wellbeing research; symptoms of diagnostic labelling - re-evaluating the language used in mental health; Exploring neurodivergence and maintaining and acting on eco-hope; Closing the loop beyond the loop: reflection and learning in the co-production process; Improving student mental health: University of Warwick; Co-producing an evaluation of the Aphasia New Music Group; Tri-diagnosis: raising the profile of dual diagnosis and homelessness
