I am delighted to join the MQ Science Council to support the discovery of new interventions for mental illness around the world, and to tackle global as well as local health inequalities. 

I will be bringing expertise in experience-driven research, participatory and co-design approaches, as well as cultural epidemiology, public mental health, and the development and testing of culturally effective clinical and systems interventions.
