Places of Safety? Involuntary Paediatric Psychiatric Hospitalisation and Identity Development.
Purpose of the Panels
The purpose of these Lived Experience Advisory panels is to gather insights and feedback from a diverse group of peers to help shape the methodology of our research.
We are specifically looking for adults who have experienced psychiatric hospitalisation before the age of 18. The panels will not focus on your personal experiences of hospitalisation but rather on your opinions regarding the design of the research. No previous academic or professional experience is required to participate. Additionally, you do not need to prepare anything in advance, though we will send you an abstract for your information. We strongly encourage peers from underrepresented backgrounds to join. Your expertise on this matter is highly valued.
Study Details
This study aims to explore the role of involuntary paediatric psychiatric hospitalisation on identity development across the lifespan. We seek to understand how these experiences are integrated into personal narratives and their impact on individuals’ identities. More information about the research can be found in the abstract.
