Lived Experiences Heard Real Voices, Real Change

For World Mental Health Day, the King's Maudsley Partnership hosted Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change, bringing together young people, parents, carers, clinicians and researchers to discuss the role of lived experience in shaping mental health research and care. The webinar explores how co‑production can strengthen research, improve services and create support that better reflects the needs of children, young people and families. Topics include youth participation in research, family involvement in care, peer support, service improvement and the value of lived experience in driving meaningful change. Watch the full discussion to hear perspectives from young people, parents, carers and professionals working across research and clinical services.
