Get Involved

We run a number of sessions with the public, as well as experts by experience, to improve digital tools. We work with individuals with firsthand, lived knowledge of health, social care, and related systems, who use their insights to review and improve our research, to shape better digital tools and policy and bring an essential user perspective to create meaningful change.

DIGITAL NAVIGATORS

Digital navigators are volunteers at GMMH who support the use of digital technology to improve mental health. They help both clinicians and patients find and use helpful apps, as well as understand the data generated by them. Digital navigators may also evaluate and review apps, assist with research projects, and contribute to publications about their work.
