our mission

ENGAGE aims to promote, generate and disseminates high quality collaborative research to enhance the mental health and wellbeing of people across the lifespan. The network is based on principles of inclusivity and partnership across communities and services, and values diversity in perspectives on mental health and methodological ideologies. The Network is based within the College of Medicine and Health at University College Cork. ENGAGE is a collaborative venture between UCC, the HSE and the voluntary sector that aims to forge alliances between clinicians, service users, carers, the public and researchers from across the Southern region. The network’s interdisciplinary nature allows for multiple perspectives in addressing complex challenges in the field of mental health, and as such can inform public policy, academic debates and professional practice in mental health.
The network is chaired by Dr Aine O’Donovan
