Co-production resources

Authentic co-production moves beyond common consultative approaches to develop equal partnerships between lived experience and researchers. This requires transforming how various forms of knowledge and expertise are viewed and dismantling pervasive power imbalances that underpin healthcare and academic systems. As a collective embedded within a research centre, LEN aims to engage with and inform co-produced research, we hope these resources further support that endeavour.

TheMHS 2025

Tuesday 2 - Friday 5  September, Brisbane, Queensland.

Imagine 2050... universal mental wellbeing is achieved with a resilient population and routine early intervention for mental ill-health. Integrated support services across various sectors provide highly personalised care, blending traditional and contemporary healing methods. People experience holistic, respectful, and culturally aligned support, primarily delivered in their community or chosen location. Stigma and discrimination are eradicated, fostering social connection and inclusion. The mental health system is well-resourced and informed by lived experiences.

This vision will be explored at the conference, focusing on consolidating current practices and embracing new ideas to achieve this ideal mental health system.
