Scotland community panel

We would like to invite you to join our Scotland Community Panel if you are a member of the public and wish to contribute to our research as a participant. Psychological research relies heavily on public engagement to ensure the validity, relevance, and utility of the findings. Your participation will help researchers in the SEW Lab to generate knowledge about well-being.  

As a Panel member, you will receive emails from SEW researchers from time to time inviting you to participate in our studies. We welcome Panel members from anywhere in the UK, but we are particularly looking for those who live in Scotland. If you are interested in helping our research, please leave us your email here. 

Scottish Lowlands Mental Health and Wellbeing Collective

If you are working in community, a member of the public, or affiliated with an organization focused on well-being, you are invited to join our working group. As a SLMHWC member, you can draw on our technical expertise to further your own work (e.g., evaluating programming) and also co-produce research with us (e.g., review well-being indicators and provide feedback). There may be community workshops, surveys or focus groups, general updates, and other opportunities to connect. If you are interested in collaborating to strengthen community well-being in your region, please leave us your email here.
