Mental health in context: research, policy and practice

Mental wellbeing has risen up the public policy agenda over the last 20 years and is a key priority for the UK’s health system. This interdisciplinary hybrid conference aims to explore mental health in context and evidence intersections and inequalities across different groups and backgrounds. Responsibility for mental health extends beyond health professionals and should be a priority for those working in social, education, welfare and justice sectors. This conference aims to bring together researchers, policymakers and practitioners from these diverse sectors and disciplines and address how it should be responded to through the life course. The fifth Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey (also known as the Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing), which is run every 7 years, will be published in 2025. The findings from this important research will be presented at the conference, sharing valuable new insights to inform policy and practice.
