With funding support from the Mental Health Research Incubator, a team of researchers at the University of Southampton delivered a creative research methods event to build capacity among mental health and addiction researchers by introducing innovative methods that go beyond traditional data collection. The event provided an opportunity to share and develop new ideas using creative approaches that can enhance inclusivity and broaden participation in community research.
Following the event, the organisers developed a summary report detailing impact, attendee feedback and their own reflections.
