A Call for Collaboration for Mental Health and Neurodiversity Research
If you're part of a charity or organisation working in neurodiversity or youth mental health, we encourage you to listen out for a funding call included in the episode. Liz is currently seeking aligned partners to help bring her PhD research to life, combining rigorous academic study with the insights gained from lived experience. Supervised by Professor Joel Talcott, at Aston University, the research will aim to create real-world, actionable impact for young people navigating complex educational and emotional landscapes.
If your organisation shares this vision, we’d love to start a conversation.
