The Power of Belonging: Reflections on Joining the Hub for Metabolic Psychiatry Research Community
12th-18th May is Mental Health Awareness Week in the UK and the theme this year is ‘community’. At the Hub for Metabolic Psychiatry, people with lived experience of severe mental illness are integral members of our research community. Their voices shape our questions, guide our methods, and ensure our work is grounded in real-life needs and experiences. In this blog Hub Lived Experience Group member, Nomhle Nhlapho, reflects on the importance of community and what being part of the Hub research community, in particular, means to her.
