Centre for Mental Health and Wellbeing Research

Description

The Centre for Mental Health and Wellbeing Research (CMHWR) at Warwick University incorporates a multidisciplinary research community, collaborating with local government, healthcare and regional businesses. This integration of expertise spans numerous disciplines such as computer science, history, mathematics, social sciences, psychology, medicine, business, engineering, and economics. Professor Singh, the Centre Director, notes the Centre's unique ability to capitalise on national and international interests and emerging opportunities in various mental health research areas. Distinct from other national centres, the CMHWR prioritises the needs of young and vulnerable populations, addressing mental health issues in diverse fields, including mental health services, the criminal justice system, social care, global mental health, and employment. The Centre also stands out due to its expertise in the design of analytical techniques and behavioural interventions applicable to mental health research and practice, including pioneering work in digital interventions.

The CMHWR's involvement in health service improvement initiatives ranges from international (TRANSFORM), national (Launchpad Initiative), regional (WM-ARC, AHSN, Midlands Health Initiative) to local (various NHS Trusts). These partnerships serve to create significant impact through their mental health research.

Research areas include Child and Adolescent Mental Health, focusing on early detection of anxiety disorders and emotional wellbeing in educational settings; Workplace Mental Health and Wellbeing, with a specific project led by Warwick University, involving stakeholders from across the Midlands; and Global Mental Health, aimed at creating situation-specific solutions to improve wellbeing, prevent and treat mental illnesses, and effect societal changes worldwide.
