“Mental health research needs the expertise of scientists from many different disciplines. If you’re wondering if it’s for you, then it probably is!”
“There is no equivalent of CRUK or BHF for mental health. But smaller charities do have calls from time to time so it’s a good idea to sign up to their newsletters, and follow them on Twitter”
