Canterbury Christ Church University has received funding from the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) to investigate how best to support people who experience psychosis.
Our team from the Salomons Institute for Applied Psychology will look at the evidence around services for psychosis and develop clear explanations about how and why different combinations of support and therapies are helpful.
During the project, the team will consult with mental health staff, service users and their families using creative workshops, interviews and comment. The workshops will be innovative in using creative exercises and LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®, to ensure everyone can contribute equally.
The joint project is being led by Dr Sue Holttum at the University’s Salomons Institute for Applied Psychology and will run until May 2025. The project is already underway, with Learnings and outcomes due to be published at regular intervals as the research progresses.
Other team include Professor Christopher R. Burton, Professor of Health Services Research as joint lead applicant, Laura Lea and Dr Emma Salter from the Salomons Institute. Partner universities include the University of Manchester, University of Shefield, and University College London.
