The Institute of Mental Health Research at York
Bringing people together and sharing their knowledge and experiences to improve lives through better mental health.
The Institute of Mental Health Research epitomises our determination here at the University of York to bring together ambitious, enquiring academics and students with partners working at the forefront of mental health.
The experiences and insights of service users, frontline professionals, policy makers and the public inspire what we do and are at the heart of our work.
Our vision is to enhance the lives of all people affected by mental health problems, and to reduce the risk and impact of difficulties and disabilities linked to mental health. We do this by sharing the expertise and insights of people from different disciplines and with a wide range of life experiences.
Professor Lina Gega, Director, the Institute of Mental Health Research at York.
