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.

Join our Research Advisory Group

We are currently recruiting experts by experts by experience across England to our Research Advisory Group (RAG). We’re looking for service users, carers, friends, family and community members to share their experience of living with psychosis.

You should be passionate about:

• improving mental health services;
• promoting equality and diversity;
• engaging African and Caribbean communities in mental health services and research.

What does the role involve?

Responsibilities and activities for RAG members include:

• promoting CaFI
• engaging communities and organisations
• advising our team
• supporting the communication of findings.

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.
