ABOUT OUR RESEARCH
CRRMH is taking a lead role in conducting mental health research with rural and remote communities. The research focus is on:
- The mental health and wellbeing of rural Australia, and
- Mental illness and health services and health outcomes for rural people with mental illness
- Service Development
A critical component of CRRMH research is community engagement for the purpose of developing research questions and methods, gaining community participation in projects, and evaluating the overall research direction. The Centre affords many opportunities for student research at all levels and assists with developing research skills for new researchers and clinicians based across rural NSW. Results from the Centre's research are made available through conferences, publications and community feedback forums.
