Our team
Our team brings together different disciplines to help make a positive difference to mental health. The more angles we can consider mental health from, the more we will see.
Our Scientific Advice Network (SAN) brings together experts from across the world and from a broad range of disciplines to advise on our research and development activities. Having a large and flexible network structure enables us to draw on the best expertise, ideas and opinions, as we need them. Some members of our SAN are listed below.
