McPin 10 for 10 resources

Resource was added by: Bec Hanley

What is this resource?
Produced to celebrate McPin’s 10th anniversary, these '10 for 10' resources showcase the charity's learning and reflections from working across a wide range of projects.

They are not ‘how to’ guides - they present thinking and learning to date. The resources have been produced to spark conversations amongst the wider mental health research community, and beyond.

These resources explore how to use lived experience in the workplace; reflect on McPin's public involvement and peer research; look at their ongoing journey towards antiracism; offer guidance on neurodivergent-inclusive meetings and more.
