Words, Words, Words!

We’re a bit of a wordy nerdy crew and love doing some research into specific mental health or healthcare topics, merging research-based knowledge with a slight Let’s Have a Natter edge. We also hope the information we have written or curated might help someone who needs information informed by evidence from an alternative perspective, outlined below. If you want us to write about something different within the world of mental health or complementary and alternative medicines, do reach out.

Collaborative writings from excellent individuals about their lived experiences can be found here.

Lived experience refers to the insights derived from direct engagement in everyday occurrences, in contrast to being shaped by assumptions or constructs from external sources, research findings, or media portrayals. Embracing these perspectives contributes to a more empathetic and holistic approach to mental health care, acknowledging the unique narratives and insights individuals bring to their own mental health and life journeys. Recognising this and wanting to build community, if you would like to write for the Let’s Have a Natter “Informations” page, do reach out.
