Survey in Development: Exploring Experiences in Forensic Mental Health
The MHLPI team is currently developing an international survey aimed at better understanding the experiences of professionals working in forensic mental health settings. This project explores a wide range of topics including research use, system-level policy, clinical practice, ethics, innovation, and workplace well-being. ​ The survey is being co-designed by researchers, clinicians, and trainees from multiple countries and disciplines, and will include targeted questions on gender, equity, and the impact of broader social trends. ​ Stay tuned for updates — we look forward to launching the survey soon and welcoming contributions from across the forensic mental health community. ​ For questions or to get involved, feel free to contact us.
