Would you like to help advance knowledge and contribute to a meaningful cause? Get involved in our research community and join the hundreds of people who have already signed up to help researchers understand bipolar better.

Our research team – Dr Tania Gergel and Dr Talen Wright – lead various research projects and work with a growing number of research partners. You’ll never be contacted by our research partners directly, though, only ever by our in-house team.

Whether you’re living with bipolar, or you have a loved one with bipolar, it only takes five minutes to get involved and make a difference!

We want to make sure that people’s stories of receiving or requesting support from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services are heard. Have you been through CAMHS or supported a young person to do so? Are there things you want to share about your experience – things you’d change, things that were hard, or that worked well?

As part of Shaping Our Clinical Services (2025-2035), the Health Board would like to learn what is most important to you about the care you receive.

Whether you are, or have been, a patient in our children and young person services or the parent of someone who has, we would like to hear from you. We are also welcoming feedback from colleagues, stakeholders, and people who may at some point use the services.

When completing this survey, please think about your past experiences with our services for babies, children and young people, or what you would like to see from them.

Your feedback will help design the future of our services for children and young people.

Please answer honestly.
