The University of Strathclyde is inviting autistic adults in England who have used mental health crisis services to take part in a research study exploring what works well, what doesn’t, and how support could be improved.
The study aims to better understand autistic adults’ experiences of adult mental health crisis services, directly from people with lived experience. Insights from the research will be used to inform learning and help improve services in the future.
What the research is about
The researchers want to hear from autistic adults about:
-
what has been helpful when accessing mental health crisis support
-
what has been hindering or challenging
-
how crisis services could be improved to better meet the needs of autistic people
By sharing experiences, participants can help ensure that autistic voices are reflected in future thinking about crisis care.
Who can take part
You may be able to take part if you:
-
are an autistic adult
