Information for experts by experience
The CaFI study has opportunities for involvement for experts with lived experience relevant to our project. If you are a member of the African or Caribbean community who has been affected by psychosis, these opportunities may be for you.

- engaging African and Caribbean communities in mental health services and research.
What does the role involve?
Responsibilities and activities for RAG members include:

RAG members will meet two times a year through a video call or in person, and may be required to complete other occasional tasks as need.
In return, you’ll receive payment, expenses and opportunities to develop skills, training and experience in this area.
